the evidence store every quote is checked against

Every quote.
Found, or gone.

Zetaris reads each of your PDFs on its own. Before you see an answer, every quote in it is looked up in that reading, in one SQL statement. A sentence whose words aren't there doesn't reach you.

ask three real papers A real space of open-access papers. Each answer's quotes are checked as you watch.

from Nishida and Walker, 2007, a sample paper

  1. as written

    “subjects in the nap group demonstrated a highly significant 16% consolidation enhancement”

  2. one number changed

    “subjects in the nap group demonstrated a highly significant 61% consolidation enhancement”

  3. one word added

    “subjects in the no-nap group demonstrated a highly significant 16% consolidation enhancement”

Live: these three quotes are checked in Zetaris against its own reading of Nishida and Walker (2007), in one statement, when you press the button.

Follow one quote.

From one small action to what you see,
each step opened in the code.

  1. 1

    The paper goes in twice.

    Konkyo reads your PDF into passages. Zetaris reads the same PDF itself, with its own PDF reader, and keeps that text. The file says Ready only after Zetaris answers for it.

  2. 2

    The Writer quotes a passage.

    Each sentence of an answer carries the exact words it rests on, and the passage they came from.

  3. 3

    One statement checks them all.

    Every quote in the answer goes to Zetaris as one VALUES list, joined to its reading of each paper. A quote counts only if its words appear there, in order.

  4. 4

    What fails never reaches you.

    A sentence whose quote isn't found goes back to the Writer with the reason, at most twice. Whatever still fails is dropped, and the receipt says so.

Zetaris in Konkyo

Where it
shows up.

Specific jobs in the app.
Each one has a place you can point to.

Under every answer.

The receipt says how many quotes were checked in Zetaris and how long it took, with the statement itself under Show SQL. Each citation says Found in Zetaris.

In practice, briefs and drafts.

Practice answer keys, every line of an audio brief, Check my draft and each article before it's published go through the same check.

Before the Writer starts.

While the Writer drafts, Konkyo asks Zetaris which of the documents it found Zetaris holds. Passages from a file it can't answer for are dropped.

Watching for new papers.

A topic watch is a Zetaris REST table over OpenAlex. One statement subtracts every paper you already have or were told about, so only new ones reach your Inbox.

Why a second reading

Konkyo's passages come from its own extraction, so checking a quote against them would only prove the Writer copied well. Zetaris reads the PDF separately: a quote passes only if the paper itself says it. Recordings have no PDF, so their quotes are checked against the stored transcript.

Letters and digits only

Both sides are lowercased and kept to a–z, 0–9 and the full stop, so line breaks, spaces and punctuation don't matter. Measured on real quotes it matched 10 of 10, and still caught a planted 1.2 → 12.

Page furniture removed

Margin line numbers and running heads in a PDF reading broke 3 of 10 brief quotes on testing. Konkyo removes only what is provably furniture, which can make a match harder, never easier.

A deadline, then a cancel

Each statement has its own deadline, 30 seconds for a check. Past it Konkyo cancels the job, because an abandoned query keeps the engine busy for everyone. A momentary failure gets one retry after 400 ms.
