STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Purpose

  • Combine findings across papers/articles into concise, evidence-backed syntheses.
  • Expose constraints and assumptions clearly to avoid overgeneralization.
  • Maintain structure-first artifacts for reuse and traceability.

Trigger Conditions

  • Positive: literature reviews, state-of-the-art summaries, related work sections.
  • Negative: single-source summaries (use academic-reading-workflow), or prompt-only edits (prompt-architect).

Guardrails

  • Constraint buckets: HARD (scope, dates, domains), SOFT (style, depth), INFERRED (coverage, exclusions) with sources.
  • Two-pass refinement: synthesis structure → epistemic audit with evidence and ceilings.
  • Cite sources inline with links/pages; avoid claim aggregation without evidence.

Inputs

  • Research question and intended audience.
  • Source list with metadata and access.
  • Formatting needs (bullets, narrative, tables) and timebox.

Workflow

  1. Scope & Constraints: Define inclusion/exclusion criteria and outputs; confirm INFERRED assumptions.
  2. Source Mapping: Group sources by theme and strength; note gaps or conflicts.
  3. Draft Synthesis: Build outline, then fill with claims tied to sources and confidence ceilings.
  4. Epistemic Pass: Check for overclaims, contradictions, and missing evidence; rebalance coverage.
  5. Deliver & Store: Provide synthesized narrative plus evidence table; update references/examples.

Validation & Quality Gates

  • Every claim tied to at least one source with confidence ceiling.
  • Coverage matches constraints and inclusion criteria.
  • Conflicts highlighted with proposed resolutions or follow-ups.

Response Template

**Scope & Constraints**
- HARD / SOFT / INFERRED.

**Key Themes**
- Theme → evidence → confidence ceiling.

**Conflicts / Gaps**

Confidence: 0.81 (ceiling: research 0.85) - based on cross-source synthesis and evidence tracking.

Confidence: 0.81 (ceiling: research 0.85) - reflects completed synthesis with evidence-linked claims.
