## Protocol

1. Identify pages with outdated confidence (based on new evidence or contradictions)
2. Read current page content and confidence score
3. Assess new evidence: does it support or contradict?
4. Update confidence score in frontmatter (increase for support, decrease for contradiction)
5. Add note in page body explaining the update
