forsvn-labs Knowledge review
Check that a decision rests on credible, current, and honestly uncertain evidence.
Clarify what is being claimed
State the factual claim or decision the review must support. Enumerate the sources and data the work currently leans on. Distinguish observed evidence, reasonable inference, and assumption before judging any of them.
Assess each source
For every source and claim, record:
- authority: primary or secondary, provenance, perspective, and known bias;
- freshness: an explicit date or how current this category of claim is;
- uncertainty: confidence, sample, and what could change the finding.
Build the contradiction matrix
For each key claim, put sources as rows and record what each asserts, its authority, date, and uncertainty. Mark every direct contradiction explicitly so conflicts are visible rather than merged.
Resolve
Reconcile conflicts by weighing authority, recency, and causal plausibility—not by counting or averaging sources. Label the resolved position and why the competing evidence lost.
Surviving unknowns and recheck trigger
List what remains unknown and set a recheck trigger: a date, event, or condition when the claim must be verified again. Do not let an unknown silently age into a fact.
Scope
This reviews knowledge, sources, and factual claims—not code. Do not use it to review an implementation, a diff, or a codebase; use a code-review path for that. Keep the review proportional to the decision and never fabricate or pad sources.
