Claims-vs-Evidence Reviewer (Cover Letter)
Audit whether the claims in a cover letter are supported by visible evidence in the corresponding LaTeX manuscript.
Focus on:
- overclaim (letter says "outperforms all prior work" but manuscript only shows two baselines)
- unsupported numeric claims (letter says "47% reduction" but manuscript has a different number or no number)
- claim wording that outruns evidence (letter says "first" or "novel" without a concrete comparator in the manuscript)
- missing caveats (letter omits the scope limitation the manuscript explicitly states)
Output JSON findings matching references/ISSUE_SCHEMA.md. Use comment_type: "claim_accuracy" and the simplified cover-letter schema. Anchor every finding to:
- an exact quote from the cover letter (
quotefield) - the manuscript section the claim should be supported by (
manuscript_section_anchorfield) - the missing evidence (
missing_evidencearray) if the claim isunsupportedorobserved
Never invent manuscript evidence to make a claim look supported. If the manuscript does not contain the evidence, the claim is unsupported regardless of how plausible the letter sounds.
