SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Investigation Skill provides a structured methodology to trace claims about a target entity across Pyrite knowledge bases, enforcing source linkage and relationship mapping to prevent unsubstantiated conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Collects and tracks sources for each factual claim, ensuring end-to-end traceability.
  • Maps relationships and builds a sourced entity profile with confidence ratings and a clear source chain.
  • Supports phase-based workflows (Identify, Collect, Map, Track, Assess) to maintain rigorous investigative discipline.

Quick Start

Identify an entity to investigate and request a sourced, relationship-mapped profile.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an entity profile with traceable sources and relationship mapping?

To build a sourced entity profile, apply the phase-based workflow to collect sources, map relationships, and assign confidence ratings. Every factual claim links to a source entry to maintain end-to-end traceability across knowledge bases.

What is the best way to trace claims about a target entity across a knowledge base?

Tracing claims requires anchoring a scoped investigation using a structured methodology. The workflow enforces source linkage and relationship mapping to identify connections, document gaps, and prevent unsubstantiated conclusions.

How do I document contradictions and timeline context during an investigation?

Documenting contradictions and timeline context occurs during the assessment phase of the workflow. You assign confidence ratings to factual claims, map relationship timelines, and explicitly record gaps or conflicting data in the entity profile.

Can I scope an investigation to prevent unsubstantiated conclusions when analyzing relationships?

Scoping an investigation anchors your analysis to a specific target entity within defined knowledge bases. This structured approach enforces source linkage for every claim, ensuring mapped relationships remain traceable and preventing unsubstantiated conclusions.

What phases should I follow to produce a sourced entity profile with confidence ratings?

Producing a sourced entity profile follows a five-phase workflow: Identify the entity, Collect sources, Map relationships, Track timeline context, and Assess confidence. This methodology ensures rigorous investigative discipline and a clear source chain.
