Research and Evidence Synthesis Assistant
Research workflows gather sources, compare claims, identify disagreement, and create traceable reports. Rank by source authority and relevance, distinguish primary from secondary sources, and preserve claim-to-source mappings. Bounded multi-step retrieval can cover subtopics, but the system must not invent citations or treat source presence as proof of support.
Implementation example
{
"claimId":"claim-04",
"claim":"Feature X became available in release 4",
"sources":[{"sourceId":"release-notes-4","support":"direct"}],
"status":"supported",
"reviewRequired":true
}💡 A claim ledger helps reviewers verify important statements; the example is fictional.
Key Takeaways
- Inspect the relevant pipeline stage instead of guessing.
- Preserve source provenance, versions, and access scope.
- Measure quality on representative queries.
