Fact Confirmation

Sometimes you are not looking for everything in a document -- you just need to know whether it mentions a specific fact. Did this contract reference the June 15 amendment? Does this email confirm the board approved the transaction? Fact confirmation gives you a direct answer.

Claira checks whether a specific fact appears in the document and, if it does, extracts the supporting excerpts. If the fact is not mentioned, it returns "N/A" -- giving you a clean, binary signal.

How Claira helps

• Answers a specific question. Instead of a general summary, you get a targeted yes-or-no answer with evidence.
• Extracts supporting text. When the fact is confirmed, Claira pulls the relevant excerpt so you can verify without re-reading the whole document.
• Returns a clear negative. When the fact is not present, the "N/A" response lets you filter and sort results quickly.

When to use this

• Verifying whether a specific event, agreement, or statement appears in a document
• Searching for corroboration across a document set
• Building evidence maps that link facts to source documents
• Validating claims made in depositions or witness statements

Sample prompt

Replace [specific fact] with the actual fact you are looking for. Be as specific as possible -- for example, "the board vote on March 12, 2024 to approve the merger" is much better than "the board vote."

Tips for better results

• Be precise about the fact. Vague facts produce vague results. Include dates, names, and specific details whenever possible.
• Use "N/A" as a filter. After a bulk scan, filter out "N/A" responses to see only the documents that contain your fact. This dramatically narrows your review set.
• Combine with other workflows. Once you have confirmed which documents mention a fact, you can run summarization or fact extraction on just those documents for deeper analysis.
