Reports & Charts
Report format, verification badges, and how to read Unicode charts.
Every substantial answer from Spinosa comes back as a markdown report in the chat. Reports show the answer, the evidence behind it, the interpretation, limitations, and a verification status.
Report sections
Answer — The shortest direct response to your question. Evidence — Quoted passages from your documents with source paths and confidence labels. This is what you read when you need to know exactly what the corpus supports. Analysis — Interpretation built from the evidence. Limitations — What is missing, ambiguous, or out of scope. Sources — The file paths used to ground the answer. Status — The verification outcome (see below).
Verification statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
○ pending |
Draft exists, verification not finished yet |
✓ verified |
Claims and quotes passed source review |
⚠ corrections |
Minor fixes made during verification, still usable |
✗ failed |
Important claims could not be supported reliably |
| Trust reports by reading the status and the evidence together. |
Navigation dashboard
Many reports open with a compact dashboard:
┌─ Corpus Navigation ──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Maps ▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░░░░░ 6 consulted │
│ Raw ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░ 45 scanned · 12 read │
│ Source ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ 18 cited │
│ Status ✓ verified │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- Maps — how many navigation maps were searched
- Raw — how many files were scanned vs read in depth
- Source — how many sources made it into the final answer
- Status — verification outcome

Reading reports well
- Read the Answer first, then check it against the Evidence.
- Use Limitations to decide whether to ask a narrower follow-up.
- Open cited files when a claim matters and you want surrounding context.
- Treat failed or pending status as a reason to pause, not decoration.
