SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a standardized research protocol for the Agent Hub team to gather, cross-examine, and critique evidence, defining sourcing standards, separating facts from inferences, and defending against hallucination.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multiple independent sources: Prefer primary or official sources over secondary references to support conclusions.
  • Source tagging for claims: Tag every non-obvious claim with its source to distinguish evidence from inference.
  • Fact-vs-inference separation and cross-checking: Explicitly separate what is known from what is inferred and challenge conclusions to falsify them.
  • Recency tracking and not-found labeling: Note the date of sources and clearly indicate when information is not found.

Quick Start

Provide a structured, source-backed evaluation by gathering multiple independent sources, tagging every non-obvious claim with its source, separating fact from inference, cross-checking and falsifying findings, noting recency, and clearly marking not-found results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent AI hallucination during research and evidence gathering?▼

To prevent AI hallucination during research, this protocol requires explicit sourcing for non-obvious claims, fact-vs-inference separation, and clear labeling of not-found results to ensure trustworthy outputs.

What is the best way to separate fact from inference in a research report?▼

Separating fact from inference requires tagging every non-obvious claim with its source, explicitly distinguishing known evidence from inferred conclusions, and cross-checking findings to falsify hypotheses.

How do I structure a research protocol to cross-examine multiple independent sources?▼

Structure a research protocol by preferring primary or official sources over secondary references, tagging claims with their sources, cross-examining evidence, tracking recency, and surfacing not-found results.

How do I track source recency and handle not-found results in evidence reporting?▼

Track source recency by noting the date of sources used, and handle not-found results by clearly indicating when specific information is not found to maintain transparency in evidence reporting.

Does this research verification protocol work for analysts gathering evidence without coding dependencies?▼

Yes, this research verification protocol works for analysts and critics without coding dependencies, providing a standardized framework for sourcing, evidence handling, and critique to ensure trustworthy outputs.
