Make sense of a stack of sources.
Find agreements, contradictions, and unanswered questions.
Why try this?
A source-based workspace can help you compare material too scattered to hold in your head.
What to bring
Documents you have permission to upload, their dates, and a specific research question.
Your starting request
Using only these sources, compare what each says about [question]. For every claim, cite the document and relevant passage. Separate agreement, disagreement, and missing evidence. Preserve the dates and distinguish an author’s opinion from a reported result.
Illustrative result
This is an authored teaching example, not a live model response.
A comparison organized by claim, with source pointers and explicit gaps rather than a single overconfident summary.
Then make it fit
Choose the weakest supported conclusion in your summary. Show the exact evidence and explain what additional source would change it.
Before you use it
Open the cited passages. Check that they support the claim, and consider which sources are missing from your collection.
What you are learning
A citation is a place to start checking, not proof that a conclusion is correct.
