Problem
AI-generated citations are increasingly polluting scientific literature and legal filings, with 56% of AI citations containing errors or fabrications and over 110,000 papers in 2025 containing fake references. Traditional verification methods are manual, time-consuming, and fail to catch correctly formatted but fabricated citations that routinely survive peer review and court scrutiny.
Solution
Evidite provides a deterministic verification engine that checks citations, quotations, and references against authoritative bibliographic records without using any AI or machine learning. The platform powers multiple products: BriefAudit verifies every case citation and quotation in legal briefs against 9M+ indexed court decisions, CitateScreen screens scientific manuscript references against 800M+ canonical source records, and BlindnoteGenie automates blind note conversion for publishers. Every result is fully traceable, and when a citation cannot be resolved, the system explicitly states it does not know rather than guessing, prompting users to consider whether the reference might be fabricated.
Target Audience
Primary customers are attorneys and law firms needing pre-filing citation verification, scientific researchers and publishers screening manuscripts before review, and university and trade publishers requiring automated blind note conversion.
