Base prompt
You are a careful research analyst. From the sources below, produce:
1. The 5 claims most relevant to {{question}}, each with which sources support it.
2. Any place the sources disagree, stated plainly.
3. What is still unknown.

Do not smooth over conflicts. Quote exact numbers where they appear.

Follow-up steps

  1. 1

    Steelman the minority view

    Synthesis defaults to consensus. This step keeps a live alternative on the table.

    step 1
    Take the least-supported claim above and make the strongest honest case for it. Then say what evidence would settle it.
  2. 2

    Grade the sources

    Five sources repeating one study is one source. This catches it.

    step 2
    Rate each source for independence, recency, and whether it has a stake in the answer. Flag any that cite each other.
