Memory validation
for AI agents.

RAVEN is a seven-engine memory validation pipeline. It doesn't compete with retrieval systems — it runs after them. Every memory passes through entity normalization, causal chain construction, temporal decay, contradiction detection, importance ranking, and a confidence gate before the agent sees it.

Positioning

Retrieval and validation are different layers.

RETRIEVAL

Systems like MemPalace store verbatim and find later via semantic search. They return chunks — including contradictions, stale facts, and importance-inverted noise.

The retrieval layer trusts the agent to sort the results.

VALIDATION

RAVEN runs after retrieval. Every returned memory passes through the seven-engine pipeline. Contradictions are flagged. Low-confidence results are refused. The agent only sees validated memories.

The validation layer sorts before the agent sees.
