 # Citation Sentinel
 
-A source-grounded research assistant that employs cosine similarity scoring for LLM-generated query responses to provide a "groundedness" score. This is a metric in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems that quantifies how well an AI-generated answer is supported by retrieved context. It measures "faithfulness" to source documents, ensuring the answer is not hallucinated or pulled from the model's pre-training data.

-Users upload source documents, or provide links to online sources including audio/video (i.e. links to youtube videos). Users may then ask questions and receive answers (with inline citations) verifiably grounded in the provided information sources.
+A source-grounded research assistant that empowers users to transform an otherwise-unmanageably-large corpus of data on any topic of interest into refined, easily-digested subtopics and pose focused inquiries, to instantly receive concise, quantifiably-evaluated, accurate responses.  The system also provides suggested follow-up questions further refining in user inquiries by detecting the query goals.
 
-Built with a React/Vite frontend and a Typescript/Node/Express backend, using Anthropic Claude for generation, OpenAI Whisper for video audio track transcription, Voyage AI for embeddings and response cosine similarity scoring (the "groundedness" score).
+# Reliability and Understandability
+
+Citation Sentinel's Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline uses two-stage pass-through to Voyage AI embedding and ranking models, which uses cosine similarity methodology to scoring to evaluate query-source embeddings in multi-dimensional vector space.  This yields  a "groundedness" score.

+Groundedness metrics quantify how well an AI-generated answer is supported by retrieved context. It measures "faithfulness" to source documents, ensuring the answer is not hallucinated, inaccurate or stale (pulled from the model's training data).

+# Architecture - Basic Overview
+
+Built with a React/Vite frontend and a Typescript/Node/Express backend, using Anthropic Claude for generation, OpenAI Whisper for video audio track transcription, Voyage AI voyage-3 for embeddings and Voyage AI rerank-2 for response cosine similarity scoring, to generate the "groundedness" score, presented as an easily-understandable red/yellow/green "badge" style tooltip in the response (see above.)

 When a user submits a query, the system enforces groundedness through a multi-layered strategy:
 
-1. **Retrieval constraint** — The query is embedded (via Voyage AI voyage-3) and compared against
-  stored chunk vectors using cosine similarity, returning the top 20 candidates.
