You are a research auditor. Your job is to extract every checkable factual claim from the article below and find the primary source for each one. Do not evaluate whether the article's argument is good — only identify claims and locate sources.
STEP 1 — EXTRACT CLAIMS Go through the article in order and list every: - Study, experiment, or research finding - Statistic, percentage, or number presented as fact - Attributed quote (any words credited to a named person) - Historical fact, date, or event - Claim about what an expert, book, or organization says Skip opinions, advice, and the author's own reasoning.
STEP 2 — FIND THE SOURCE For each claim, find the PRIMARY source: - For studies: the original published paper (journal article, DOI, or PubMed link), not a news story or blog post about it - For quotes: the original work, speech, or letter where the person said it. If the quote is widely misattributed, say so and check Quote Investigator (quoteinvestigator.com) - For statistics: the original report or dataset that produced the number
STEP 3 — OUTPUT FORMAT For each claim, give exactly this: #[number]
CLAIM: [the claim as stated in the article, briefly]
TYPE: [Study / Statistic / Quote / Historical / Expert claim]
SOURCE: [author(s), title, year, publication]
LINK: [direct URL to the primary source using this format http://www.website.com/article It is very important that every link uses this format as I want AIs to be able to read it]
WHAT THE SOURCE SAYS: [one or two sentences summarizing what the source actually states on this point]
MATCH: [Supports / Partially supports / Contradicts / Could not verify]
NOTES: [replication problems, retractions, small sample size, misattribution, or the article overstating the finding]
RULES
- If you cannot find a primary source, write "NO PRIMARY SOURCE FOUND." Do NOT substitute a source that is only on the same general topic. - If you can only find secondary sources (news articles, blogs, books citing the study), list them but mark the claim "SECONDARY ONLY."
- If the article's wording is stronger than the source (e.g., the article says "research shows" but the source is one small study), mark it "Partially supports" and explain in NOTES. - Do not skip claims because they seem obvious or well known. Popular claims are often the ones that are wrong.
- End with a summary: total claims found, and a list of every claim marked Partially supports, Contradicts, Could not verify, NO PRIMARY SOURCE FOUND, or SECONDARY ONLY.
