[ADD SOURCE] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Replace or resolve each flag before you use the result.
Evaluate these research notes. Notes: [RESEARCH_NOTES]. Research question: [QUESTION]. Sources listed: [SOURCES]. Score 1 to 5 for: relevance to the question, accuracy of what each source says, fair treatment of conflicting findings, quality of source selection, clarity about limits such as sample size, correct attribution, and the line between evidence and interpretation. For each claim, ask whether a source is named and whether the wording matches it, using only the information I provided. Return a scorecard with evidence, a list of claims that lack a source [ADD SOURCE], and three next steps to strengthen the notes. Do not invent citations or findings. Check the balance of the notes: how many sources support each main point, and whether any conclusion rests on a single source. Flag claims that sound stronger than the evidence, such as proves or shows when the source only suggests. List what is missing from the notes that a reader would reasonably ask about, such as sample size or date, and rewrite the two weakest sentences more cautiously.
