Why fact extraction and user-facing claims should stay separate

One design choice in the crawler agent prototype I've been building: it keeps raw fact extraction separate from the claims that eventually reach a profile. The crawler fetches approved public links and pulls out timestamped facts, but nothing gets treated as a credible statement about someone's work until it's reconciled against that evidence.
This sounds like a small detail, but it's the difference between a system that summarizes and one that occasionally invents. For professional memory, that distinction matters more than speed or coverage. Getting the boundary right between "what a source says" and "what we're willing to publish" is most of the hard work in ProfileScribe.
