Four verdicts, not a fake/real binary
Verified · metadata differences · inconclusive · likely hallucinated. An obscure 1994 workshop note can be real and still missing from every open index.

Evidence
ready[ ]
A citation is a claim that a work exists.
Not found is not the same as fabricated. CiteProof shows the matching evidence, then lets you decide.
Identifier first, title search second
If a DOI, arXiv id or other unique id is present, that record is checked before any fuzzy title search. A DOI that points at a different paper is a mismatch, not a miss.
Queries run in your browser
If a source fails, the reason is shown: offline, timeout, HTTP 429, CORS, or a source outage. A blocked or failed query is not evidence that the paper does not exist. Web references can be checked using the original page or a regular web search.
