What NOVA Does
Human researchers search sources sequentially — one database, one archive, one publication at a time. NOVA searches all of them at once. Using the architecture ARIA defines, NOVA fans out across 100+ source categories simultaneously, harvesting relevant data points, discarding noise, and assembling a verified corpus within hours.
What distinguishes NOVA from a simple web search is selectivity. She doesn't just collect — she filters. Every data point is screened against ARIA's quality benchmarks: source credibility, publication recency, relevance score, and cross-referenceability. Only what passes gets forwarded to SAGE.
