Core Analysis Process
Step 1: Determine Analysis Type
Classify the input into one of the following types:
| Type | Characteristics | Analysis Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Factual Statement | Verifiable objective claims involving data, research, statistics, etc. | Authenticity, scientific basis, evidence support |
| Opinion-based Statement | Contains value judgments, opinions, or suggestions | Thesis, conclusion, argument, evidence, assumptions |
| Web/Article Content | Mixed content combining facts and opinions | Separate facts from opinions, then analyze each |
Step 2: Factual Statement Verification Framework
For each factual statement, systematically verify the following dimensions:
2.1 Source Tracing
- Original Source: Where did this data/conclusion originate?
- Authority: Does the source have professional credentials (academic journals, government agencies, renowned research institutions)?
- Timeliness: Is the information outdated? Are there more recent studies or data?
2.2 Multi-Source Cross-Validation (Mandatory Step)
Multi-source cross-validation must be performed for ALL types of input (factual statements, opinion-based statements, web content):
2.2.1 Verification Strategies
| Verification Method | Action |
|---|---|
| Direct Search Verification | Use search engines to find reliable sources for original data/research |
| Cross-Validation | Verify the same fact through 3+ different reliable sources |
| Reverse Verification | Search whether the information has been denied by official/authoritative institutions |
| Deep Tracing | Trace the information dissemination chain to find the original source |
2.2.2 Source Reliability Ratings
| Grade | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | Government official data, prestigious academic journals, peer-reviewed research | Highest credibility |
| A | Reports from renowned institutions (WHO, World Bank, etc.), verified mainstream media reports | Highly credible |
| B+ | Professional media, industry association reports, content with clear source citations | Basically credible |
| B | General media reports, personal blogs without clear sources | Requires cross-validation |
| C | Social media, forum posts, content with untraceable sources | Suspicious |
| D | Anonymous posts, marketing content, confirmed misinformation | Not credible |
