Why every answer cites a page
In work that gets delivered to a client, an answer without a source has no practical value.
Design, not caution
Every answer that comes out of your documents carries the page and line it came from. That is slower than a confident answer, and it is deliberate.
No system is right one hundred percent of the time on a bad scan. The only honest response is to make checking cheap, rather than to pretend the error rate is zero. PulseUp is built on that assumption.
In practice it means that when a figure looks wrong, you are one click from the original document — instead of re-reading the whole file or taking the system's word for it.
How a citation opens
Under each answer sits a badge counting the documents cited — not the pages. Several citations across three pages of one document count as one document.
Tapping the badge opens the source viewer: a panel beside the text on desktop, a bottom sheet on a phone. Each cited page gets a tab, and you can switch between the original PDF and the extracted text.
If an answer cites nothing, no badge is shown at all. Empty is itself an answer.
