# Evidence table workflow
Use this skill before writing a synthesis or brief when claims need to be traceable to materials.
## Table columns
Prefer this structure:
| Claim | Evidence | Source ID / file | Location | Strength | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
## Evidence strength
Use these labels:
- `strong`: directly supported by a primary or high-quality source.
- `moderate`: supported but with limitations.
- `weak`: indirect, incomplete, or uncertain support.
- `conflicting`: sources disagree.
- `unsupported`: claim appears in notes but not in traceable evidence.
## Steps
1. Extract decision-relevant claims.
2. Tie each claim to concrete source identifiers.
3. Add short evidence summaries rather than long quotations.
4. Mark strength and uncertainty.
5. Identify unsupported or conflicting claims.
6. Use the table as the basis for synthesis.
## Do not
- Invent quotes, citations, or source identifiers.
- Use vague source references.
- Treat unsupported claims as facts.
- Hide conflicts.
## Output
Return or write:
1. Evidence table
2. Unsupported claims
3. Conflicting claims
4. Source coverage gaps
5. Constraints for synthesis
