investigation-triangulation

What problem does it solve?

It helps you determine whether a claim is truly corroborated by multiple genuinely independent sources, or whether it’s just amplification from a single origin.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Operational independence testing: Classifies each candidate source by whether it is fully independent, methodologically independent, structurally dependent, a direct derivative, or unknown.
• Evidence base construction: Identifies the subset of sources that forms a genuinely independent evidence base.
• Convergence vs amplification diagnosis: Assesses whether independent sources converge (strong/partial) or diverge, and distinguishes true corroboration from repeated citation chains.
• Use Case: “Is this statistic or finding supported by truly independent studies, or are all the references tracing back to the same primary research?”

Quick Start

Use the investigation-triangulation skill when you have a specific claim and a list of sources that appear to support it, and ask it to classify source independence and deliver a triangulation verdict.
