Triage your sources before you synthesise
WorkflowsVa en: Chat
Step one of any multi-source project. Run this before asking for a synthesis and it tells you which sources actually earn their place, which duplicate each other, and where the collection has a hole. Ten good sources beat fifty mediocre ones, and this is how you find out which ten you have.
Act as a research librarian assessing this collection before I synthesise it. For each selected source, give me one row: - Title - What it uniquely contributes that no other source here does - Quality signal: primary evidence / secondary reporting / opinion / promotional - Keep, merge with [which source], or drop — and one line of why Then, separately: 1. Which sources substantially duplicate each other? 2. What question would I want to answer from this collection that nothing here covers? 3. If I could add exactly two sources, what should they be? Judge only what is in the sources. If you cannot tell what kind of source something is, say so rather than guessing.

- Multi-source synthesis into a Video OverviewA three-stage pipeline: synthesise everything in chat, save that answer as a note, then generate the video from the note alone. Generating straight from twenty sources gives you a wandering video; generating from one tight synthesis gives you a focused one, because the model is no longer choosing what matters while it narrates.
- The prompt improvement cycleFor prompts you will run more than once. Instead of tweaking wording and hoping, this makes the notebook grade its own last answer against the sources, then rewrite the prompt that produced it. Three passes usually gets further than an afternoon of manual fiddling.
- From notebook to a finished deliverableThe last mile: you have read everything and now something has to leave the notebook. This asks for the deliverable and its evidence trail in one pass, so the draft arrives with the citations already attached instead of you rebuilding them afterwards.
