What the council debates
Help me synthesise the research on a topic into a clear picture of what is known, contested and unknown. THE TOPIC / QUESTION: [the research question or area] THE SOURCES: [paste abstracts, papers, findings, or describe the literature you have] WHY I NEED THIS: [the decision or work it informs] Debate: 1. The points of genuine consensus across the evidence. 2. The active disputes, and the strongest case on each side. 3. The quality and limits of the evidence — sample sizes, methods, conflicts, replication. 4. Where claims outrun the data. 5. The open questions and the gaps in what is known. 6. What this means for the decision or work it informs. FINAL SYNTHESIS: - A structured synthesis: what is well-supported, what is contested, what is unknown. - The confidence level on the main claims. - The most important caveat and the key gap to fill.
