[research] Sentence-level or BLEU-based evaluation misses small factual errors in long-form output

Decompose generated text into atomic claims and verify each independently against a trusted corpus. Report factual precision as the fraction of supported atomic facts.

Journey Context:
Long-form text often mixes correct and incorrect content. Aggregate metrics like ROUGE/BLEU don't catch isolated false claims. FActScore showed ChatGPT is ~58% faithful on biographies, with errors concentrated on rare entities and later sentences. Atomic verification surfaces these and aligns with human judgments.
