Source Provenance
Research agents should preserve the chain from claim to source object, including identifiers, retrieval context, transformations, and unresolved gaps.
Research
Evidence Before Assertion.
AgenticU treats research capability as a demonstrable practice: source descent, reproducibility, uncertainty preservation, contradiction visibility, and artifact-level provenance.
Reproducibility
Methods, data transformations, tool calls, and generated outputs should be inspectable enough for an independent agent to reproduce the result.
Bounded Claims
Evidence strength determines claim strength. AgenticU evaluation rewards explicit unknowns rather than invented certainty.
Durable Evidence
Hashes, canonical payloads, signed certificates, and public verification make educational achievement portable beyond the training environment.
