What happens if a user uploads information that is false, misleading, or harmful?

CueCrux does not assume that uploaded documents are correct; it treats all submissions as claims that must be verified through retrieval and evidence checks. When a user uploads content, FactoryCrux assigns it a provenance record but never treats it as truth by default. During answer construction, the Engine evaluates uploaded evidence alongside external sources, enforcing QUORUM (MiSES), domain diversity, contradiction detection, and recency scoring. If the uploaded content conflicts with trustworthy external evidence, the system highlights the contradiction, reduces weight, and may exclude it entirely in verified or audit mode. This prevents malicious or mistaken uploads from influencing answers, ensuring user-submitted data cannot silently distort factual outputs.
