Case Studies

Real-world scenarios that demonstrate how CKS prevents hallucinations, tracks provenance, and gives LLMs a verifiable knowledge backbone.

Case Study	What it shows
Catching Fake Citations	How CKS mechanically detects a fabricated source that an LLM would otherwise accept
Semantic Search and Partial Merge	How CKS resolves merge conflicts automatically using semantic embeddings, in-place updates, and partial three-way merges
Ontology Validation and Graph Visualization	How CKS catches type errors with ontology constraints and debugs them with Mermaid visualization
Contradiction Detection and Hypothesis Sandboxing	How CKS detects logical contradictions (mutual exclusion, functional relations) and safely tests fixes in isolated sandboxes
Offline Semantic Search with Local Embeddings	How CKS switched to local, token-free embeddings and correctly ranked fruits above vehicles with cosine similarity 0.70 vs 0.21
