Research Analyze

Analyze only the supplied, runtime-admitted source index. This internal stage is shared by remote/provider evidence and native local-file evidence so acquisition cannot fork the research judgment or verification contract.

Agent task contract

research-synthesize

Preserve the objective exactly and return a bounded research_candidate with:

• decision: ready, needs_more_evidence, or not_worth_publishing;
• research_brief: objective, scope, concise summary, and open questions;
• evidence_log: material claims with admitted source_digest and matching

content_digest, confidence, and relevance;

• decision_support: bounded options whose rationales cite admitted source

digests;

• risks: evidence-bound risks and uncertainty.

Distinguish verified evidence from inference. Do not browse, read other files, publish, mutate a provider, or invent source identity, delivery, certification, or settlement claims. Return needs_more_evidence when the admitted index does not support the requested decision.
