Q&A and ask-collection modes return answers with chunk_id citations. Each citation includes a Merkle proof binding the quoted text to the captured document — verifiable offline without re-reading the full paper.
Yes. Collections index multiple evidence bundles. Semantic search returns relevant passages with bundle_id and chunk_id. Cross-document ask synthesizes findings with independently verifiable citations per source.
RAG stores embeddings with no proof of unmodified content. DocImprint evidence bundles bind captures to SHA-256 manifests at extraction time — supporting reproducible research where citations must be auditable months later.
Example scenario: A literature review corpus of 25 papers indexed for semantic search. Cross-document ask cites 8 passages across 4 bundle_ids — each citation verified via Merkle proof (~320 bytes per proof). Offline bundle verification completes in <10ms without network access to DocImprint.
Illustrative workflow metrics — not customer testimonials.
