Consensus map

Show the shape of disagreement without manufacturing consensus.

Steps

1. Define the question, geography, time window, and audience. Narrow broad topics into claims that sources can actually address.

2. Gather primary evidence and credible analyses from different source families. Track shared underlying data so copied articles do not count as independent agreement.

3. For each claim, record supporting and challenging sources with dates and passages. Distinguish disagreement about facts from disagreement about definitions, forecasts, or values.

4. Compare methods, samples, and time periods before declaring a contradiction. Give strong evidence more weight than popularity; equal word count is not equal credibility.

5. Classify findings as broadly supported in the inspected sources, disputed, or insufficiently studied. State search coverage and what evidence could move each conclusion.

Output

Claim | support | challenge | reason for disagreement | strength/limits; then a short conclusion.
