Evidence Synthesis

Rapid evidence assessment without shortcuts that collapse confidence. Every finding carries a source and a confidence grade. Gaps are named, not hidden.

When to use

Trigger for evidence review work: programme design questions, evaluation framing, policy briefs, funder questions about what works, contribution analysis needing prior-evidence assembly.

Do not trigger for news scans, stakeholder mapping, or quick factual lookups. Those are different tasks.

Required inputs

Ask in one batch. The first two are required.

  1. Question: what Ane needs the evidence to answer, as a specific question (required)
  2. Purpose: programme design, evaluation framing, policy advocacy, donor response, academic input (required; shapes depth and format)
  3. Scope constraints: geography, population, intervention type, time range (optional; will default if missing)
  4. Sources Ane trusts or distrusts: organisations, journals, or author groups to prioritise or treat cautiously (optional)
  5. Timeline: how much time Ane has — determines whether rapid (2 hours), standard (1-2 days), or rigorous (1-2 weeks) synthesis (default: rapid)
