In the citing paper
“The forensic science community, in recent years, has recognized the need for industry‐ and discipline‐specific standards to supplement the broader laboratory‐centric scope of ISO/IEC 17025 and to address longstanding issues with training and competency assurance, validation of scientific methods, and transparency of processes [15, 16, 17].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
