Why fact extraction and profile claims stay separate systems

One design choice in ProfileScribe: the crawler agent that reads approved sources never writes directly to a profile. It normalizes what it finds into timestamped facts first, and only afterward does that evidence get reconciled into anything published.
The split matters more than it looks. Professional profiles get unreliable when writing and evidence-gathering happen in the same step, because it's easy for a plausible-sounding claim to outrun what a source actually supports. Keeping extraction and claims apart means every statement in a profile can be traced back to something concrete, not just something that sounded right.
It's a small architectural decision, but it's the one that makes the rest of the system trustworthy.
