What problem does it solve?

This Skill structures multi-source research with authority assessment, cross-referencing, and calibrated confidence to prevent overconfidence and ensure traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authority assessment: classify sources by tier and assign confidence.
  • Cross-referencing: verify claims across multiple sources.
  • Documentation & Citation: generate findings with citations and caveats.

Quick Start

Document a finding with at least two sources and include inline citations in the format Source Name.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure research findings from multiple sources with proper citations?▼

Structure research findings by documenting claims with at least two sources, using inline citations in [Source Name](URL) format, and assessing source credibility to ensure traceability and prevent overconfidence in your conclusions.

What's the best way to evaluate source credibility when synthesizing research?▼

Evaluate source credibility by classifying sources into tiers, assigning confidence levels to each tier, and cross-referencing claims across multiple sources to verify accuracy and triangulate evidence.

How do I cross-reference claims across multiple sources?▼

Cross-reference by comparing how different sources handle the same claim, identifying agreements and conflicts, then calibrating your confidence based on the consistency and authority tier of supporting sources.

When should I use source authority assessment in my research?▼

Use authority assessment whenever you synthesize findings from multiple sources, present conclusions with attribution requirements, or need to compare options with structured analysis to ensure verifiable, credible conclusions.

Can I present research findings without confidence calibration?▼

No—this workflow enforces confidence calibration as a required step to prevent overconfidence, ensure caveats are documented alongside findings, and maintain traceability to source tiers and cross-reference results.
