LiverTox is a tool that helps doctors report when a medicine hurts the liver; it asks them to fill out a simple form with key info, then automatically figures out how likely the medicine caused the problem and saves all the reports to help spot dangerous drugs.

Appropriate Language Strength
definitive
Can make definitive causal claims
Assessment Explanation
The claim describes a functional feature of a known, publicly documented system (LiverTox) maintained by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The existence of the structured submission system, RUCAM automation, and data aggregation features are verifiable through official LiverTox documentation and peer-reviewed publications describing its architecture. No causal inference or probabilistic claim is made—only a description of system capabilities. Therefore, a definitive verb is appropriate.
