Context And Sources
Three Notes.
Which One Is Current?
A project folder contains an old deadline, an AI-written summary and a later note from the owner. The summary has been copied twice.
“What is our deadline, and where did that answer come from?”
Two copies are not two sources.
The neatest summary is not necessarily the latest instruction. Useful research means following the claim back to its source, not counting how often it appears.

What Changes
When You Use This?
- A reusable project context rather than another pile of pasted text.
- A brief with source references you can check.
- Explicit follow-up questions where evidence is incomplete.
Before you try it for real.
The example explains the behavior. Your actual tools, account and evidence determine what is possible.
What You Need
Accessible source files or connected tools, a suitable model and permission to use the material. Web access and paid model usage depend on configuration.
What Is Enforced, Recorded Or Advised
Account, project and library access are checked by the platform. Source identity and provenance can help distinguish types of context. An instruction asking for citations is a request to the model, not a guarantee of factual accuracy.
Where It Stops
Retrieval can miss relevant material. Similarity is not factual confidence. Verify important citations, dates and conclusions against the original sources; no perfect-memory claim is made.
The Workflow, Step By Step
Choose The Material
Scope the project, files and knowledge you want to use. Enable only the connected sources needed for this decision.
Ask For A Comparison
Have Iris identify the criteria, compare the material and cite the evidence it used. Ask it to separate source statements from its own interpretation.
Challenge The Result
Inspect cited material and ask what is missing or outdated. Keep unresolved questions in the brief instead of forcing a confident recommendation.
