SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Use a repeatable, auditable workflow to perform structured research across Pyrite knowledge bases, ensuring comprehensive gathering, linking, analysis, and synthesis with explicit source tracking and confidence assessments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a Gather → Connect → Analyze → Synthesize lifecycle across multiple KBs.
  • Tracks sources and applies a confidence-based rubric to rate evidence quality.
  • Produces a synthesis entry that consolidates findings with traceable backlinks and structured conclusions.

Quick Start

Announce at start and begin Phase 1 by defining the scope before gathering sources.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a structured research workflow with source tracking and evidence synthesis?

A structured research workflow applies a Gather-Connect-Analyze-Synthesize methodology to track sources, check backlinks, and evaluate evidence using a confidence rubric. It enforces phase gates to ensure comprehensive gathering and produces traceable synthesis entries with structured conclusions.

What is the best way to rate source reliability and confidence during knowledge base research?

To rate source reliability during knowledge base research, apply a confidence-based rubric to evaluate evidence quality at each phase gate. This structured approach identifies gaps and ensures conclusions are backed by traceable, high-confidence sources before synthesis.

How do I consolidate findings from multiple knowledge bases into a single synthesis entry?

You consolidate findings from multiple knowledge bases by completing the Gather, Connect, and Analyze phases. The workflow then produces a synthesis entry that consolidates findings with traceable backlinks and structured conclusions based on your topic-focused investigation.

Does the Gather-Connect-Analyze-Synthesize methodology enforce phase gates for research scope?

Yes, the Gather-Connect-Analyze-Synthesize methodology enforces phase gates for research scope. You must define the scope and identify entry types before gathering sources, ensuring the investigation remains topic-focused and auditable before progressing to the next phase.

When do I need an auditable research workflow with explicit backlinks checks?

You need an auditable research workflow with explicit backlinks checks when performing topic-focused investigations across knowledge bases. This ensures your synthesis is traceable, evidence-based, and relies on a confidence rubric to validate source reliability and identify gaps.

Can I use this structured research methodology for investigations with a defined scope?

Yes, you can use this structured research methodology for investigations with a defined scope and identified entry types. It guides you through gathering sources, connecting evidence, analyzing gaps, and synthesizing conclusions with explicit source tracking and confidence assessments.
