bsafronov Synthesize Evidence
Return an answer whose material claims can be checked against the evidence that supports them and whose limits remain visible.
- Bound the question by the requested decision, comparison, population, version, and time where they affect the answer. Identify the claims that could change it. Use the user's depth or source limits; choose a proportionate boundary when none is given. Broader adjacent topics earn investigation only when they could change an in-scope conclusion.
- Seek the source that can establish each claim: the owning specification or documentation for a contract, implementation or observation for actual behavior, and original study or data for an empirical result. A primary source is authoritative only within that role. Follow summaries to their original basis; several accounts of one observation are one evidence chain. Search snippets identify leads, not verified support.
- Compare scope before resolving disagreement. Date, version, configuration, population, and measurement method can make different findings compatible. An explicit applicable revision can supersede old evidence; a newer date alone cannot settle a same-scope conflict. Keep unresolved contradictions visible with both sources and the missing evidence that would distinguish them.
- Attach material factual claims to the exact supporting source or local path and useful locator. Separate observed results, source claims, and your inferences. Preserve qualifications that affect the answer; a narrow benchmark cannot establish a general guarantee. Treat inaccessible evidence and a bounded search with no result as coverage limits, not proof of absence or certainty.
- Synthesize the answer around the question, not the reading order. State the supported conclusion, decisive evidence, and material uncertainty. Use the requested response or artifact and existing note conventions when saving is requested; research alone needs no new file or background task. Recommendations may explain what the evidence supports without becoming accepted product or domain decisions.
Stop when every decision-bearing claim is supported at the requested scope or explicitly unresolved, and further available investigation within the agreed bounds would not change that status. Name incomplete coverage and the specific missing evidence when it limits the answer; do not call the research exhaustive. An answered question completes this outcome. Specification, domain modeling, implementation, and further experiments compose only for separately requested outcomes.
