How does CueCrux handle uploads that could cause reputational harm or defamation?

CueCrux is designed to avoid reproducing unverified or defamatory statements. If a user uploads material containing allegations, personal claims, or reputationally sensitive statements, the system does not automatically surface them in answers. Instead, CueCrux:

1. Treats the upload as “one source among many”,
2. Checks for supporting independent evidence,
3. Searches for counterfactual or contradictory evidence,
4. Flags disputes with explicit banners, and
5. Refuses to summarise uncorroborated claims in verified/audit mode.

If a claim lacks independent verification or conflicts with primary sources, CueCrux will return “insufficient evidence” or mark the claim as disputed. This dramatically reduces defamation risk, because the system is not a blind amplifier it is a verification engine. Combined with provenance and receipts, CueCrux can always show the audit path taken, demonstrating good-faith handling of sensitive material.
