Build a source ledger before the answer

A ledger is smaller than a report and more useful than a pile of links. It turns sources into jobs. One source may prove a date, another may prove a route contract, and another may only give background.

For research trends, the ledger prevents overclaiming. A lab blog can support what the lab announced. A paper can support its tested claim. A local platform route can support current contract shape only after it is inspected.

The AHA is that evidence becomes stronger when each source has a job description.

Aha moment

A source ledger gives every source a job before the model starts blending evidence into prose.

Try this

Create a four-column ledger: source, what it proves, what it cannot prove, checked-at date, then write the answer from the ledger.

Watch for

  • Links collected without claim-level purpose
  • Old sources used for facts likely to drift
  • Background sources treated as direct proof
