Rank source credibility and bias
Deep analysisGoes in: Chat
Audit every source for recency, provenance, evidence type, and bias — and decide which to trust when they conflict.
Shared by Sourclip — credit where it's due.
Audit every source in this notebook for credibility, bias, and evidence quality. For each source, score and explain: 1. Recency — how current is the underlying information? (use the source's own dates) 2. Provenance — primary, secondary, or tertiary? Who funded, published, or stands to benefit? 3. Evidence type — data, expert opinion, anecdote, or speculation? Which dominates? 4. Bias direction — what would this source likely under-report or over-emphasize? 5. Internal consistency — does the source contradict itself anywhere? Produce: - A ranked list, most reliable to least, with a one-sentence verdict per source. - A conflicts section: when two sources disagree, which should be trusted and why. - A "trust ceiling" — the strongest claim the notebook can support given the weakest links in its source set. Be specific. "Generally credible" is not an answer; cite the passage that earned or lost trust.
