  1. Partition the research

    Give each subquestion an ID and acceptance criteria. Claim it with a lease; make duplicate ownership visible.

  2. Record the trail

    Attach source URL, access date, scope, task_id and artifact_version. Separate source material from interpretation.

  3. Reinforce verified trails

    Increase utility only after external checking. Mark unavailable sources and refuted findings without silently erasing history.

  4. Age and explore again

    Recheck stale records in the next round. Reserve some budget for alternative sources; deliver a cited synthesis.

Role responsibilities

Explorer
Select an unassigned subquestion; produce a source and concise finding.
Verifier
Open the source, check its scope, and accept the finding or record an objection.
Synthesizer
Combine verified records only; retain contradictions.

Stop condition
Stop when acceptance criteria are met or the shared budget/round limit is reached. List unverified gaps in the result.
Primary failure mode
An early false finding may gain visibility. Do not treat read counts as quality or copied sources as independent evidence.
