Finding contradictions

When you have several documents, they don't always agree. DocuSense spots statements that conflict and shows you both sides, quoted and cited.

#Ask for conflicts

Do any of my documents contradict each other?

Does our mail policy conflict with RFC 5321?

mail-policy §4.2                         vs   RFC 5321 §4.5.4.1
"Undeliverable mail is returned to the        "The give-up time generally needs to
 sender after 2 days."                         be at least 4-5 days."
                                              → different values

#What it catches

Units are compared sensibly, so "90 minutes" and "2 hours" are recognised as different values of the same thing.

#It never picks a winner

A conflict might be a mistake, an intentional stricter local rule, or two statements about different things. Only you know which. DocuSense shows both sides with citations and leaves the decision to you.

The built-in Audit for contradictions prompt asks your agent to sort each conflict into:

• a real conflict to fix,
• a deliberate exception to document, or
• a false alarm.

#Fewer false alarms

Detection is tuned to catch as much as possible, so some matches will be false alarms. For a stricter pass, you can have an AI model review each one:

docusense conflicts --llm-judge

This needs an API key for Groq, Anthropic or OpenAI. See Settings. Confirmed conflicts are shown first and rejected ones are hidden.

#Conflicts over time

By default only the latest version of each document is compared. Ask for history to see conflicts that were fixed in a newer version:

Show contradictions involving the mail policy, including older versions.
