Build a Claim-Evidence Matrix

The matrix is the bridge between source notes and narrative. It preserves the origin, status, and limits of each claim so later prose can be audited.

Create the matrix

TRY THIS PROMPT

Keep uncertainty visible at row level.

Using only evidence-notes.csv, create a claim-evidence matrix with one row per source. Include source ID, source type, year, geography, reported outcome, what the record may support, what it cannot support, verification status, and next verification action. Quote no text that is not in the file.

Each row includes both a possible use and a limitation.
