Verification automatically checks an artifact’s numbers, sources, and claims. Open the Verification Hub to review the results and investigate flagged checks. Reports, Decks, Excel workbooks, and HTML pages support verification. Check the status before sharing, especially after making changes. The Hub shows individual check results and any findings that have been approved.
The Verification Hub summary: 'Passed 140/140' with four checks, each with a blue checkmark: Citations ('Numbers, tables and charts are traced.'), Traces ('Verify source data'), Claims ('Validate facts, comparisons, and trends'), and Queries ('Check query consistency and filters'), with a Refresh Verification button below.

Summary, SQL, and Source tabs sit above a panel showing Table 'weekly_trading_cube', Metric 'net_demand, order_item_qty', and Filters 'New York Knicks, TEE, 2026-06-29, 2026-07-05', with 'Last Updated July 1, 2026' at the bottom.

Dimensions by artifact

What verification checks depends on the artifact:
The report toolbar (shield badge, Edit with AI, Styles, Create workflow, ⋯) with the Verification Hub panel open alongside 'Monthly Merchandising Review'. It shows 'Verification Completed August 26, 2026, 11:18am CDT' and 'Test Last Updated May 21, 2026', then four dimensions all passed: Citation Accuracy 79/79, Traceability 115/115, Claim Accuracy 58/58, and Query Accuracy 15/15, with a Refresh Verification button at the bottom.

Traceability and verification

Traceability is how you can audit any number in an artifact all the way back to the SQL query that produced it. Every figure Addison cites is clickable in the artifact itself (underlined in Reports and HTML, or marked with a Citations button in Decks) and opens a Value trace: the source query result with the exact data cell highlighted. Verification is what checks that traceability holds up: it confirms that cited numbers tie out to their source data, and that they make sense together, consistent with each other, not just individually correct.
