# Knowledge-Work Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Frame the task
|
||||
|
||||
Record:
|
||||
- the exact question or decision;
|
||||
- audience and intended use;
|
||||
- scope, jurisdictions, industries, entities, and time period;
|
||||
- cutoff date for current information;
|
||||
- required deliverables and level of detail;
|
||||
- material assumptions and exclusions.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Build the source hierarchy
|
||||
|
||||
Default priority:
|
||||
1. primary documents, official data, statutes, regulations, judgments, filings, contracts, and original research;
|
||||
2. high-quality institutional or peer-reviewed analysis;
|
||||
3. reputable secondary reporting;
|
||||
4. commentary and discovery sources.
|
||||
|
||||
Use lower-tier material to locate or contextualize higher-tier evidence. Do not use it to overrule primary evidence without explanation.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Retrieve and verify
|
||||
|
||||
For each material source:
|
||||
- verify title, author or institution, date, version, and relevant scope;
|
||||
- inspect the underlying text, table, appendix, or data—not only a snippet or abstract;
|
||||
- capture the smallest locator that supports the proposition;
|
||||
- note limitations, conflicts, and whether the source is current enough.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Maintain a claim-evidence matrix
|
||||
|
||||
| Material claim | Evidence | Source quality | Counterevidence | Status |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| ... | ... | Primary/Secondary | ... | Verified/Qualified/Unverified |
|
||||
|
||||
Do not draft a confident synthesis while decisive claims remain unmapped.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Analyze
|
||||
|
||||
Separate:
|
||||
- descriptive facts;
|
||||
- causal claims and identification assumptions;
|
||||
- legal or institutional interpretation;
|
||||
- the source author's conclusion;
|
||||
- the agent's critique;
|
||||
- the agent's proposal.
|
||||
|
||||
For quantitative claims, check definitions, units, denominators, sample construction, timing, missingness, and comparability.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Adversarial review
|
||||
|
||||
Before finalizing:
|
||||
- search for disconfirming evidence;
|
||||
- identify alternative explanations;
|
||||
- check whether sources are independent or merely repeat one another;
|
||||
- test whether the conclusion depends on a single fragile assumption;
|
||||
- identify what evidence would reverse the conclusion.
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Deliver
|
||||
|
||||
Lead with the conclusion and decision relevance. Then provide:
|
||||
- scope and method;
|
||||
- evidence-backed findings;
|
||||
- disagreements and counterevidence;
|
||||
- assumptions and limitations;
|
||||
- implications or recommendations;
|
||||
- a clear separation between verified findings and original inference.
