LIMITATIONS

Known limitations

Stated plainly, because a verification tool that oversells itself is self-refuting: - **Anchoring proves quotation, not truth.** A source can be quoted perfectly and still be wrong. Kestrel reports *what the evidence says and how independent it is*, not ground truth. - **Entailment quality depends on the host LLM.** The mechanical gate makes a fabricated quote impossible; it does not make a bad judgement impossible. Without an LLM the deterministic lexical judge (M6) still admits real anchored evidence, but it reasons over vocabulary overlap rather than meaning: it will miss a paraphrase that shares no salient terms, and every report states which judge produced it. - **Independence detection is textual.** Two outlets that independently interview the same source produce different text and will count as two origins. - **Without a search service the engine cannot run at all,** and says so explicitly rather than returning an empty report. Source discovery is the one capability with no offline substitute. ---
