Source quality signals

Retrieved sources are not equally relevant. The UI can display lightweight quality signals derived from semantic distance.

What the signal means

• Lower distance usually indicates stronger semantic similarity.
• Higher distance can indicate weaker or more tangential matches.

How to use it

• Read the highest-quality sources first.
• If many results look weak, revise your query or narrow your domain filter.
• Treat generated answers as secondary to the sources.

Important limitation

Similarity scores are not a guarantee of truth or credibility; they only reflect how closely the text matches your query.
