All {{N}} citations independently checked against primary sources on {{DATE}}. Result: {{X}} fabricated, {{Y}} corrected, {{Z}} demoted. Confidence scores reflect post-verification evidence quality.
How to read this
- The panel was author-constructed. All five lenses share one framing, so where they agree, treat it as a strong hypothesis, not independent proof.
- Confidence is scored 1-10 on evidence quality: peer-reviewed causal work > official policy/financial data > single commissioned survey > analogy > preprint.
- Measured fact and interpretation are flagged separately. A high score means the data is solid, not that the strategic reading is certain.

The 60-Second Summary
{{CEO_SUMMARY: one dense paragraph for a CEO with 60 seconds. Lead with the settled fact, then the contested interpretation, then the tension. Bold the single most important sentence. Nuance, not headline.}}

{{CLAIM_TITLE}}
{{Why it is contested: the critique, the counter-evidence, the source. Tell the reader not to state it as fact.}}
03
The Hidden Connection
{{Set up the apparent contradiction between two findings.}}
{{Resolve it: the non-obvious link only visible across all five lenses.}}
{{The one-sentence payoff. If it leans on a weak finding, say so in parentheses.}}
The assumption this briefing rests on (and the missing 6th lens)
{{What variables the five lenses froze. Name the 6th perspective that would change the conclusions, not just add nuance.}}
{{The one omission that could invert the findings. Build with this caveat in mind.}}

What To Actually Do Differently
{{Who this is for + framing: specific moves, not principles.}}

What's Safe to Assert
✓ Safe — verified against primary source
- {{Claims confirmed by official/primary sources, safe to state flatly.}}
⚠ Say with a caveat
- {{Claims that need attribution or qualification.}}
✕ Don't assert
- {{Contested, preprint, or unverifiable claims. Name them so they don't slip back in.}}
05
The Frontier Question
{{The one question that would change everything if answered.}}
{{Why it matters: what it threatens, why no lens addressed it, what answering it unlocks.}}
