Source Verification

何时使用

研究涉及事实声明、统计数据、引用或任何需要可信背书的信息时。不适用于纯推理或用户主观偏好类问题。

核心原则

任何事实声明在写入 observation 前,至少需一个独立信源交叉核验。 单一信源的可信度不足以支撑结论。

步骤

  1. 识别声明:从研究问题或中间结论中抽出需验证的事实声明。
  2. 定位信源:用 web_search 找 2 个以上独立来源(不同机构/作者/时间)。优先一手来源(官方报告、论文原文)而非二手转述。
  3. 核验一致性:用 browse_page 读全文(非 snippet),比对关键数字/日期/结论是否一致。
  4. 记录可信度:在 observation 标注信源可信度(高/中/低)+ 不一致点。低可信度声明降级为"待证"。

失败模式(避免)

  • 只看 search snippet 就采信(snippet 常断章取义)
  • 两个来源实际互引(非独立)
  • 一手来源被二手来源误读(回溯原文)
  • 把"无法证伪"当"为真"
