What it answers

Evaluate a ruleset you supply against one product's record and get back per-clause evidence: the field consulted, what it held, and one of matched, unmatched, or not determinable. There is no score and no pass or fail, because the rule is yours and so is the conclusion — and because a score has nowhere to put the clauses a record cannot answer. That third state is the point: a label that does not mention an allergen has not declared its absence, so such a clause returns not determinable and never unmatched.

Ask it things like

  • Does this product satisfy my own added-sugar limit?
  • Which of my clauses can this label actually answer?
  • Evaluate my sourcing rules against this ingredient list.

What comes back

A receipt, and the same envelope on every tool — so a caller writes against one contract whichever one they call. The citations carry two clocks that are never collapsed: citature's retrieved_at and the source's own as_of, plus the record's own published_at and record_version where the source publishes them.

Answer


citature — rule_evaluate receipt


answer
The rows themselves, typed per tool. Amounts carry their unit and their basis, because a figure per serving and one per 100 g are not comparable.
citations
The record behind the answer: a re-runnable upstream URL, citature's retrieval clock, the release's own currency date, and the record's own version.
coverage
What this answer does not reach, and where the record is silent rather than negative.
guardrails
The standing caveats, shipped in the answer itself rather than only on a page an agent never loads.
matches
Every join the answer used, named by method and confidence. A name match is reported as a name match, never as an identity.
schema_version
The conformed schema the answer was produced against, so a caller can pin it.

What this figure is

The envelope's fields and what each one holds, with no values in them: a filled specimen would be a figure that names no record, which is the one thing citature does not publish. Every tool that answers over a record returns this same shape, so a caller writes against one contract whichever of them they call.

Pricing

$0.05 / evaluation — metered per served answer. The answer is produced first and the meter is touched only once it is in hand, so a call that returned nothing is never billed.

guardrails & coverage

  • Research over public records and product labels — not medical, nutritional, or safety advice.
  • citature reports what the record says. It never renders a verdict, a pass/fail, a diagnosis, or a recommendation, and is not a substitute for a clinician.
  • Answers are product-, substance- or population-level only — foods, supplements, labels, substances, enforcement actions, and dietary intake as a weighted survey estimate. No answer returns or describes an individual person, and citature links no record to individually identifiable data.
  • A record that does not declare something is not a record declaring its absence. citature reports what a record states; it cannot report what a product does not contain, or what a population did not consume.
  • A Daily Value is a labelling reference from federal regulation, not a Dietary Reference Intake. citature carries no licensed source for Dietary Reference Intakes and does not estimate whether anyone meets a nutrient requirement.
  • Coverage reflects the records citature has ingested, not the full upstream history. Each dataset advances when its source publishes a release.
  • Every answer states its own coverage caveats in the receipt's `coverage` field, alongside these standing guardrails.
