What does “invalid evidence anchor” mean?
Overview
The proposed quotation could not be aligned exactly with the authoritative source text at the expected location. The interpretation may still be useful, but the system will not silently create coding against uncertain evidence. Differences in punctuation, whitespace, OCR, transcript formatting, or a paraphrased AI quotation can cause this warning.
What to do
- Open in document and check whether the intended passage exists.
- Choose Adjust Evidence to select the exact source words.
- Use Re-code when the proposal needs a new evidence search.
- Reject the suggestion when no exact supporting passage exists.
