SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a standardized research protocol for the Agent Hub team to gather, cross-examine, and critique evidence, defining sourcing standards, separating facts from inferences, and defending against hallucination.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multiple independent sources: Prefer primary or official sources over secondary references to support conclusions.
  • Source tagging for claims: Tag every non-obvious claim with its source to distinguish evidence from inference.
  • Fact-vs-inference separation and cross-checking: Explicitly separate what is known from what is inferred and challenge conclusions to falsify them.
  • Recency tracking and not-found labeling: Note the date of sources and clearly indicate when information is not found.

Quick Start

Provide a structured, source-backed evaluation by gathering multiple independent sources, tagging every non-obvious claim with its source, separating fact from inference, cross-checking and falsifying findings, noting recency, and clearly marking not-found results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent AI hallucination during research and evidence gathering?

To prevent AI hallucination during research, this protocol requires explicit sourcing for non-obvious claims, fact-vs-inference separation, and clear labeling of not-found results to ensure trustworthy outputs.

What is the best way to separate fact from inference in a research report?

Separating fact from inference requires tagging every non-obvious claim with its source, explicitly distinguishing known evidence from inferred conclusions, and cross-checking findings to falsify hypotheses.

How do I structure a research protocol to cross-examine multiple independent sources?

Structure a research protocol by preferring primary or official sources over secondary references, tagging claims with their sources, cross-examining evidence, tracking recency, and surfacing not-found results.

How do I track source recency and handle not-found results in evidence reporting?

Track source recency by noting the date of sources used, and handle not-found results by clearly indicating when specific information is not found to maintain transparency in evidence reporting.

Does this research verification protocol work for analysts gathering evidence without coding dependencies?

Yes, this research verification protocol works for analysts and critics without coding dependencies, providing a standardized framework for sourcing, evidence handling, and critique to ensure trustworthy outputs.
