Verify statistics and claims in blog posts by fetching cited source URLs and checking if the claimed data actually appears on the page. Extracts all load-bearing claims (statistics, product or policy claims, ranking and comparative claims, named sources), validates cited URLs before fetching, and scores match confidence (exact match 1.0, paraphrase 0.7-0.9, not found 0.0). Flags uncited claims as UNVERIFIED. Use when user says "fact check", "verify statistics", "check sources", "validate claims", "factcheck", "source verification".

Workflow “Step 3: Verify Cited Claims” fetches and ingests untrusted web page content from URLs found in the user-provided blog post, after only URL-safety checks, creating an indirect prompt-injection exposure path via attacker-authored cited pages.
