Viewing Citations

Every answer in Skopx comes with citations. This is how you verify accuracy and build trust in the results.

What Citations Show

Each citation includes:

  • Source name. Which database or tool the data came from (e.g., "Production PostgreSQL" or "Jira Cloud").
  • Query. The exact SQL statement or API call that was executed.
  • Raw results. The underlying data rows or response payload.
  • Timestamp. When the query was run.

How to View Them

Citations appear as small numbered badges at the end of each data point in an answer. Click any badge to expand the full citation panel.

For example, if an answer says "You had 342 new signups last week [1]," clicking [1] shows:

  • Source: Production PostgreSQL
  • Query: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE created_at >= '2025-04-14'
  • Result: 342
  • Run at: 2025-04-21 10:32 UTC

Verifying Accuracy

Citations let you:

  • Check the SQL logic. Make sure the WHERE clause, GROUP BY, and date ranges are correct.
  • Spot column confusion. If Skopx picked the wrong column, the citation makes it obvious.
  • Share with teammates. Copy the generated SQL and run it yourself to double-check.

When Citations Are Most Useful

  • Financial data. Always verify queries touching revenue, billing, or cost data.
  • Executive reports. Before sharing numbers with leadership, click through the citations.
  • Debugging. If an answer seems off, the citation usually reveals why immediately.
