Start with a specific question
Good search requests name the subject, time period, and claim or decision you want checked. A narrow request gives the search answer and returned links a clearer target.
What FactLab saves first
FactLab plans several distinct searches, reads the strongest source candidates, saves the source corpus, and writes the answer from verified evidence excerpts. Source links come only from material that FactLab successfully read.
Use source URLs when you have them
If you already have a useful webpage, capture it with the FactLab browser extension. The captured text becomes required starting evidence while FactLab still searches for independent corroboration.
Follow-up searches
Finished Searches may suggest follow-up questions. Each prompt starts an independent new Search without editing or linking the original inquiry.
