How it works
Why Verbasil counts evidence rather than showing a score, and what each level means.
Verbasil never says "this is true". It says "here is how many times I saw it, and where". Every decision and every pattern carries its evidence: the passages from the sources that back it, which you can open one by one.
Evidence level
| Proofs | Level |
|---|---|
| 1 | isolated |
| 2 | weak |
| 3 to 4 | emerging |
| 5 to 9 | reliable |
| 10 or more | strong |
The level measures recurrence in your memory, not the truth of the world. Ten proofs from the same client say something strong about that client, not about your market.
Why a number rather than a score
A confidence percentage from a model can't be checked. A number of proofs can: each leads to its source, and you judge for yourself. That is the difference between a tool that asserts and a tool that shows.
A pattern
A pattern is a topic that comes back from one source to another: the same objection, the same request, the same problem. In the Patterns tab of Memory, they are sorted into three groups.
| Group | Proofs |
|---|---|
| Reliable | 5 or more |
| Emerging | 3 or 4 |
| Isolated | 2 or fewer |
Each also says how many of its proofs are from this quarter: a strong topic that has been silent for three months is no longer quite the same topic.
What raises it, what lowers it
| Raises | Lowers |
|---|---|
| a new source about the same thing | an archived source: what it brought stops counting |
| two patterns merged | a wrong extraction you correct |
Nothing is set by hand: a counter you can push counts nothing. Variety of sources matters more than their number; five sets of minutes from the same meeting describe a single moment.
