Source verification for cited references in assessed academic work
What it resolves for the institution
AI generates plausible-looking bibliographies. Students submit work built on references that do not exist, cannot be located, or do not support what is claimed. Manual verification is too slow to be systematic — which means most institutions evaluate without ever checking whether the evidentiary foundation of the work holds.
Parmenides checks every cited source against verified databases before evaluation begins. Non-existent references, incorrect citations, and unverifiable sources are identified and documented — not discovered mid-jury, not left to individual faculty to chase manually.
What it produces
A source verification report for every submission — so that faculty invest their judgment in work the institution can actually vouch for, and so that the evidentiary basis of every high-stakes assessment is on record.

What it costs not to have it
Without systematic source verification, the institution signs degrees built on bibliographies it has never checked. When a fabricated or hallucinated bibliography is identified after the fact, the decision has already been made — and the institution owns it.
