Selection Decision¶
Selected — Critical negative evidence. Perplexity is one of the most prominent AI research tools, yet its leaked system prompt contains zero instances of calibrated probability language, bias assessment, competing hypotheses, self-audit, or any named analytical framework. It implements citation transparency through mandatory source attribution but delegates all analytical rigor to model capability rather than prompt design.
