Getting Started with Tieout

Tieout is a powerful verification tool that helps you ensure the accuracy of AI-generated reports by comparing them against your original data sources. Whether you're working with financial reports, research summaries, or data analysis, Tieout catches hallucinations and inaccuracies before they become problems.

How Tieout Works

The verification process is designed to be simple yet thorough. Follow these four steps to verify your reports.

Step 1: Provide Your AI-Generated Report

Start by pasting or uploading the AI-generated report that you want to verify. This works with any content that references your source documents:

• Summaries from ChatGPT, Claude, or other LLMs
• Automated financial reports and analysis
• Research analysis or data interpretations
• Executive summaries and presentations

Step 2: Upload Your Source Documents

Next, upload the original documents that contain your source of truth. Tieout supports multiple file formats and processes them instantly:

• CSV Files — Structured data & spreadsheets
• PDF Documents — Reports & official documents
• Excel Files (XLSX) — Workbooks with multiple sheets
• Plain Text — Simple text & data files

Pro tip: You can upload multiple documents at once if your AI-generated report draws from several sources.

Step 3: Let Tieout Analyze

Once you submit both documents, Tieout's comparison engine gets to work using advanced algorithms to verify every detail:

• Data Extraction — Automatically extracts numbers, percentages, dates, named entities, citations, and URLs from both documents
• Smart Comparison — Matches data points between sources, understanding context, variations, rounding differences, and derived values
• Hallucination Detection — Identifies made-up statistics, fabricated citations, incorrect calculations, and misattributed data

Review Your Results

Get a comprehensive accuracy report with detailed insights into every discrepancy found:

• Accuracy Score — Overall percentage showing how well the report matches your source data
• Discrepancy Highlights — Issues categorized by severity: Critical, Warning, and Info levels
• Side-by-Side View — Compare generated content alongside source data with confidence scores
• Link Verification — Check validity, accessibility, and accuracy of all URLs and references

Best Practices

Follow these tips to get the most accurate verification results.

For Optimal Results

• Upload complete source documents — The more complete your source data, the more accurate the verification
• Use high-quality files — Clear, well-formatted documents work best
• Include all referenced sources — Upload all documents mentioned in the report
• Review contextual matches — Don't rely solely on the score

When to Use Tieout

• Financial reporting — Ensure AI summaries match your financial data exactly
• Research papers — Verify that citations and statistics are accurate
• Data analysis — Confirm AI interpretations align with source data
• Compliance & executive reports — Meet regulatory standards

Credits and Usage
