Multi-Source Search (Verity-Style)
Parallel search across all sources with confidence scoring and AI synthesis.
Use aisa_multi_search to comprehensively research "Is quantum computing ready for enterprise use?"
Confidence Scoring
The aisa_multi_search tool provides a deterministic confidence score based on four factors.
| Factor | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Source Availability | 40% | How many search sources returned results |
| Result Quality | 35% | Volume of results relative to expectations |
| Source Diversity | 15% | Mix of academic and web sources |
| Recency | 10% | Bonus for having any successful sources |
| Score | Level | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100 | Very High | Strong consensus across sources |
| 70-89 | High | Good agreement, reliable sources |
| 50-69 | Medium | Mixed signals, verify independently |
| 30-49 | Low | Conflicting or sparse sources |
| 0-29 | Very Low | Insufficient data |
Python CLI Client
A standalone Python client is included for command-line use.
