## Quick Reference: What Goes Where
| If you need to... | Episteme provides... | You build... |
|-------------------|---------------------|--------------|
| Store conflicting facts | Assertion type, append-only DAG | Nothing - just POST assertions |
| Resolve conflicts | Lenses (Recency, Consensus, Skeptic) | Lens selection logic |
| Query historical state | `as_of` parameter | Time-travel UI |
| Track changes | `since` parameter + MV changelog | Notification system |
| Weight by source authority | `source_class` field + decay | Tier classifier |
| Detect emerging signals | Skeptic Lens + conflict_score | Gardener (threshold logic) |
| Show per-tier consensus | Layered Consensus Lens | Dashboard UI |
| Extract claims from papers | Nothing - pre-assertion transform | NLP pipeline |
| Sign assertions | Signature verification | Agent wallet / key management |
| Generate summaries | Structured query responses | LLM summarizer |
