+ ## What is CATS?
42
+
43
+ | ❌ Fact-checking | ✅ CATS |
44
+ | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
45
+ | "Is this information true?" | **"How reliable is this source, in this context, right now?"** |
46
+
47
+ CATS analyses the _behavioural patterns_ of a source over time — narrative consistency, sentiment volatility, temporal gaps, and signs of algorithmic manipulation — and returns a transparent, explainable trust score.

+

50
+
51
+ ## Signals
52
+
53
+ | Signal | What it measures | Method |
54
+ | -------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
55
+ | **Coherence** | Entity/argument consistency across messages | spaCy NER + Jaccard (or optional Sentence-BERT) similarity |
56
+ | **Volatility** | Abrupt narrative tone changes | TextBlob (or optional BERT) sentiment spike detection |
57
+ | **Silence** | Anomalous temporal gaps in publishing | Gap analysis vs. source-type thresholds |
58
+ | **Gaming** | Signs of algorithmic manipulation | Repetition + TTR + burst + vocab diversity |

64
+ No database, no Redis, no API keys — the signal pipeline as a plain library call:
65
+
66
+ ```python
67
+ from cats.lite import score
68
+
69
+ result = score([
70
+ {"timestamp": "2026-01-01T08:00:00Z", "text": "Il governo annuncia un piano economico."},

73

74
+
75
+ print(result["trust_score"], result["band"], result["explanation"]["primary_driver"])
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ Install with `pip install -r requirements.txt` (plus `make nlp-download` for full-fidelity coherence — without it the NER backend degrades to a neutral value). The full API below adds persistence, auditing and GDPR endpoints.

+ ## Known Limitations (WP 4.1)
200
+
201
+ * **NLP accuracy \~55–62% (default)**: spaCy NER + TextBlob; optional BERT sentiment and Sentence-BERT coherence backends are available for higher accuracy (see `.env.example`)
202
+ * **Uncalibrated parameters**: thresholds are initial estimates; signal weights can now be empirically tuned with [`cats.calibration`](docs/calibration.md), but band thresholds remain unvalidated
203
+ * **Small validation set (July 2026)**: calibration/validation currently rests on 50 RSS-labelled sources; see [calibration findings](docs/calibration_findings_2026-07.md) for the honest numbers (full-dataset concordance 0.78, holdout 0.71) and their caveats
204
+ * **Italian-optimised**: using `it_core_news_lg`; other languages degrade accuracy
205
+ * **Ordinal scoring only**: not suitable as sole basis for autonomous decisions

167
+ ## Known Limitations (WP 4.1)
168
+
169
+ * **NLP accuracy \~55–62% (default)**: spaCy NER + TextBlob; optional BERT sentiment and Sentence-BERT coherence backends are available for higher accuracy (see `.env.example`)
170
+ * **Uncalibrated parameters**: thresholds are initial estimates; signal weights can now be empirically tuned with [`cats.calibration`](docs/calibration.md), but band thresholds remain unvalidated
171
+ * **Small validation set (July 2026)**: calibration/validation currently rests on 50 RSS-labelled sources; see [calibration findings](docs/calibration_findings_2026-07.md) for the honest numbers (full-dataset concordance 0.78, holdout 0.71) and their caveats
172
+ * **Italian-optimised**: using `it_core_news_lg`; other languages degrade accuracy
173
+ * **Ordinal scoring only**: not suitable as sole basis for autonomous decisions
