Knowledge Verification Protocol

Verify Knowledge Through Chains of Transmission

TasnidChain combats knowledge decay and AI hallucinations by grading claims based on their transmission chains — the scholarly tradition of isnad applied to the digital age.

The Problem of Knowledge Decay

Knowledge Decay

Information degrades as it passes through unreliable channels. Context is lost, nuance disappears, and errors compound. Without rigorous transmission tracking, knowledge loses its authenticity.

AI Hallucinations

Large language models generate plausible-sounding but false information. They predict text probabilistically, not truth. Without a verification layer, AI-generated content pollutes the information ecosystem.

The TasnidChain Solution

We grade knowledge claims based on their transmission chains — who said it, who verified it, and how reliable are the transmitters. The 1,400-year-old isnad methodology, digitized for the modern world.

From Chaos to Clarity

TasnidChain transforms unverified claims into structured, graded knowledge with full provenance.

How TasnidChain Works

Every claim is evaluated based on its chain of transmission, following the scholarly tradition of isnad.

1

Submit a Claim

Enter a knowledge claim with its source and domain. New submissions start as T1 (Unverified) and enter the verification pipeline.

2

Document the Chain

Trace the transmission chain — who originated the claim, who transmitted it, and their reliability scores. Each link is recorded and weighted.

3

Receive a Grade

Claims receive a trust grade (T0-T5) based on chain strength, transmitter reliability, and cross-domain corroboration. Full computation is transparent.

The T0-T5 Trust Grading System

Every claim receives a composite trust score computed from three weighted dimensions.

Transmitter (40%)

Chain (35%)
+
Corroboration (25%)
T0

Consensus Verified

90-100%

Verified by scholarly consensus with strong transmission chains

T1

Strongly Supported

80-89%

Supported by reliable transmitters and substantial evidence

T2

Moderately Supported

65-79%

Supported by evidence with some gaps in transmission

T3

Weakly Supported

45-64%

Limited evidence or transmission chain weaknesses

T4

Disputed

<45%

Significant disagreement or weak evidence

T5

Debunked

Flagged

Demonstrated to be false or fabricated

Verified Knowledge Claims

Explore claims across different domains, each with full transmission chains, trust grades, and transparent composite scores.

AI Integration

The Verification Layer AI Needs

LLMs generate plausible text without knowledge of truth. TasnidChain gives AI systems a way to verify claims before presenting them to users.

Pre-Response Verification

Before an LLM answers a question about Islamic knowledge, it queries TasnidChain to verify the claim and get its trust grade.

Confidence Scoring

AI responses include TasnidChain trust grades (T0-T5) so users know how much confidence to place in each claim.

Full Provenance

Every verified claim includes its complete transmission chain — who said it, who transmitted it, and their reliability scores.

Live API

API-First for LLMs

Integrate TasnidChain into any AI pipeline. LLM companies pay for verified Islamic knowledge API access — the primary revenue model. Every response includes full provenance and trust grades.

GET /api/claims — Query verified claims by domain
GET /api/claims/:id — Full claim with chain details
POST /api/verify — Submit a claim for grading
GET /api/narrators — Transmitter reputation data
GET /api/graph — Knowledge graph traversal
POST /api/verify
