Reusable AI capability

Trace Consequential Claims to Original Evidence

Apply a repeatable claim-provenance method that traces consequential wording through citations and intermediaries to original evidence, exposing mutation, laundering, and authority gaps.

Purpose

Give researchers, editors, analysts, policy owners, and release owners a reusable capability for deciding whether a material claim can be released, narrowed, repaired, withheld, or corrected.

Required inputs

Have these details available before following the usage instructions.

  • Exact material claims and their intended decision, publication, or policy use
  • Current citations, links, documents, bibliographies, quoted passages, and intermediary sources
  • Original or near-original sources and datasets where accessible
  • Source access limits, dates, jurisdiction, population, method, and authority requirements
  • Accountable editorial, research, policy, legal, or release owner

How to use this Skill

When to use:
- A consequential claim depends on citations that may be secondary, stale, transformed, or disconnected from original evidence.
- Publication, research, policy, risk, or decision material needs claim-level provenance.

When not to use:
- General source discovery with no exact claim to trace.
- Treating citation presence, source prestige, or repeated quotation as proof.
- Describing an inaccessible original source as inspected.

Reusable method:
1. Freeze the exact claim wording and intended use.
2. Decompose compound claims into independently supportable assertions.
3. Trace every citation edge through reports, reviews, summaries, media, datasets, and original studies.
4. Record the transformation at each edge: quotation, paraphrase, synthesis, calculation, inference, omitted qualifier, or unsupported escalation.
5. Compare population, method, date, jurisdiction, outcome, uncertainty, and authority to the current wording.
6. Classify the chain as intact, repairable, broken, inaccessible, circular, or citation-laundered.
7. Recommend release as written, citation upgrade, narrowed wording, hold, removal, or correction.

Expected output:
A claim register, provenance graph, transformation ledger, source-authority assessment, broken-chain register, release disposition, wording or citation repairs, uncertainty, and owner verification steps.

Boundaries:
Do not invent source access, methods, datasets, approvals, or conclusions. Editorial or research owners approve wording and source choices; legal reviewers interpret legal obligations; the release owner decides publication, withholding, or correction. Source grounding: AMO-P-000288. Applicable Workflow: AMO-W-000011.
