Summary

Workflow for identifying, evaluating, and handling contradictions across pages and sources.

Workflow

  1. Identify conflicting claims.
  2. Classify each source by reliability, bias, and type.
  3. Compare the claims against the World Bible and Master Timeline.
  4. Determine whether the contradiction should be:
    • resolved through synthesis
    • preserved as ambiguity
    • flagged for editorial review

Principle

Contradictions are signal, not noise.
