Source Reliability

Not all evidence is equal, and treating it as equal is how a preprint ends up outvoting a Cochrane review. This skill gives the agent an explicit hierarchy, so the weight of a claim tracks the strength of what backs it — and so conflicts between sources are shown to the reader, not silently resolved.

When to use

Whenever the answer rests on more than one source and those sources differ in quality, recency, or conclusion.

The rule

Weight each source by its design and record. When strong sources disagree, surface the disagreement — do not average it into a false consensus.
