NotebookBloom: Why I do not guess PDF page numbers from NotebookLM citations

I changed my priorities after watching where people actually got stuck.

NotebookLM can point to a supporting passage, but a passage location is not always the same thing as the original PDF page boundary.

• PDF extraction can reorder two-column text.
• OCR can change words and punctuation.
• Headers and repeated text can produce convincing false matches.

NotebookBloom keeps the source title and quoted passage, then asks the user to verify the page in the original PDF. A missing page is safer than a precise-looking wrong page.

Research tooling should preserve uncertainty instead of hiding it.

I am curious how other builders decide when onboarding guidance is more valuable than another feature.
