SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Conducting web research for investigations is time-consuming and error-prone without an auditable source trail. This Skill ensures every entry is grounded in reliable, linked sources and maintains provenance throughout the knowledge base.

Core Features & Use Cases

Systematic web searching to gather facts, entities, events, and claims.
Logging sources with tiered reliability and explicit source-chain tracking.
Creating structured KB entries (entities, events, claims) that reference source documents.

Quick Start

Announce the start of a research session, define the topic, and begin web searching while logging each source with provenance.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build a source-backed knowledge base with traceable provenance for web research?▼

You build a source-backed knowledge base by performing systematic web searches and logging each source with tiered reliability. This explicit source-first entry creation ensures entities, events, and claims maintain traceable provenance throughout your investigation.

What is the best way to track source reliability and provenance during an investigation?▼

Tracking source reliability requires logging sources with tiered reliability ratings and explicit source-chain tracking. This structured approach maintains auditable provenance for every entity, event, and claim created during your research.

How do I structure entities, events, and claims with linked source documents in a knowledge base?▼

You structure knowledge base entries by creating entities, events, and claims that directly reference logged source documents. This explicit source-first methodology ensures structured relationships are maintained through documented evidence.

Can I scope and conduct systematic web research to gather facts for an investigation knowledge base?▼

Yes, you can scope research topics and conduct systematic web searching to gather facts. The process involves logging sources with explicit provenance and creating structured KB entries to build a traceable, source-backed knowledge base.

Does web research knowledge base creation work without dependencies for tracking source chains?▼

Yes, this web research knowledge base creation operates without external dependencies. It natively handles source logging, tiered reliability assessment, and structured relationship mapping through documented evidence within a Pyrite kb.

Why does my knowledge base investigation need explicit source-first entry creation?▼

Explicit source-first entry creation is needed because web research is error-prone without an auditable source trail. It ensures every knowledge base entry is grounded in reliable, linked sources and maintains provenance throughout investigations.
