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.
