## The prompt

```
Build a structured research brief from the sources in this notebook.

Format the output as:
1. Topic & scope — in one sentence.
2. Key claims — list each claim with the source it comes from.
3. Areas of consensus — where sources agree.
4. Points of disagreement — where sources contradict or undercut each other.
5. Gaps — what is missing, under-evidenced, or out of date.

Use only what's in the notebook. If you infer anything, flag it as "[inference]" and explain why.
```

## How to use it

1. Open your notebook at notebooklm.google.com.
2. Replace the [bracketed] parts with your specifics.
3. Paste the prompt into the chat box and send it.

Square brackets mark the parts you replace with your own topic or question.
