Q001 — Self-Audit

Domain 1: Study Eligibility Criteria

Criterion Assessment Notes
Inclusion criteria clearly defined Pass Published prompts implementing multi-step analytical methodology
Exclusion criteria clearly defined Pass Narrow single-task prompts; theoretical discussions; proprietary unpublished
Criteria applied consistently Pass All sources evaluated against same criteria
Criteria appropriate for the query Pass Criteria directly map to query requirements

Domain 2: Search Comprehensiveness

Criterion Assessment Notes
Multiple search strategies used Pass 4 distinct searches across different source types
Academic literature searched Pass arXiv, JMIR, JAMIA, EMNLP, NeurIPS
Grey literature searched Pass GitHub repos, blog posts, leaked prompts
Search terms varied appropriately Pass Framework names, tool names, technique names all used
Negative results documented Pass All rejected results logged with rationale

Domain 3: Evaluation Consistency

Criterion Assessment Notes
Same scoring criteria applied to all sources Pass Reliability/Relevance/Bias applied uniformly
Supporting and contradicting evidence treated equally Pass Code-based implementations scored same as prompt-based
Source independence assessed Pass Sources from independent research groups and organizations
Outliers identified and explained Pass No outliers; evidence converges

Domain 4: Synthesis Fairness

Criterion Assessment Notes
All evidence considered in synthesis Pass All 6 sources and 6 evidence items referenced
Alternative interpretations considered Pass Three hypotheses tested, including H1 (affirmative)
Confidence level justified Pass Probability assessment based on evidence pattern
Gaps acknowledged Pass Four specific gaps documented

Domain 5: Source-Back Verification

Source Claim Verified Match
SRC01 58 prompting techniques cataloged Match — verified from arXiv abstract
SRC02 3 SATs implemented (Starbursting, ACH, KAC) Match — verified from blog post
SRC03 Reporting checklist, not operational prompt Match — verified from JMIR article
SRC04 Zero analytical framework components Match — verified from prompt analysis
SRC05 Multi-phase pipeline, code-based Match — verified from arXiv/GitHub
SRC06 NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight, three-stage Match — verified from arXiv/NeurIPS

Overall Assessment

Low risk of bias. The search was comprehensive across multiple source types, evidence was evaluated consistently, and the synthesis fairly represents the evidence landscape. The primary risk is incompleteness due to inaccessible custom GPT prompts and proprietary internal systems.

Researcher Bias Check

The researcher implementing this query is itself operating under a comprehensive analytical rigor framework (the methodology driving this research run), which could create incentive to confirm uniqueness. This bias was actively mitigated by designing searches specifically aimed at finding confirming evidence for H1.
