Your prompt

Using only the selected notebook sources or attached documents, audit coverage of this research question. Ask me for the question and the source titles if they are not provided. Return one row per source: title, relevant passage or citation, contribution, conflicts with other sources, and whether it supports the proposed answer. Distinguish not retrieved from irrelevant: do not claim to have inspected a source you cannot access. Identify sources absent from the initial answer, then request a focused follow-up on those sources. Finish with a brief synthesis that keeps disagreements visible and a list of original passages I should open to verify. Never invent quotations, page numbers or references. If source coverage cannot be established, state the limitation.

Copy, paste, and create. Outputs can vary by model and settings.

Example result

Example: sources A and B support different dates; C was not retrieved. Output: keep the A/B disagreement, request a separate question about C, and verify the dated passages before writing a conclusion. This is a source-coverage check, not a claim that every document was fully read.

Illustrative example; not tested on the listed platform. Search-topic measurements do not test model output.
