Paying forensic laboratories only for convictions or rewarding forensic examiners for solving crimes but not for avoiding false convictions are one-sided and biased incentives to reach certain conclusions.
“It is also important to consider how to minimize one-sided and biased incentives to reach certain conclusions, such as paying forensic laboratories only for convictions (Koppl, 2020) or rewarding forensic examiners for solving crimes but not for avoiding false convictions.”

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.
