Source-shaped content beats source-stuffed content
Adding links is not the same as letting evidence shape the argument.
The lazy version of research
A lot of AI-assisted content tries to look researched by adding a few references after the fact. That can make the page appear more credible, but it does not necessarily improve the thinking.
The better standard is source-shaped content: writing where the structure, emphasis, and claims are influenced by the source material from the beginning.
Evidence should change the draft
If research does not change what gets written, it is decoration. Good source material can reveal missing context, better definitions, stronger examples, or a more careful framing of the topic.
Forge is positioned around that higher standard: not citation theater, but a more disciplined writing workflow.
A public-safe way to explain it
We do not need to disclose how the system handles every research step. The public message is enough: Forge helps users create content that is shaped by context, not just dressed up with links.
