C007 — Assessment¶


Research	R0053 — Prompt Claims
Run	2026-03-31-02
Claim	C007

BLUF¶

Every element of the claim is confirmed by primary source inspection. The prompt defines a Researcher Profile with three specific categories, requires its use at the start of research (Step 1), and requires verification during self-audit (Step 9).

Probability¶

Rating: Almost certain (95-99%)

Confidence in assessment: High

Confidence rationale: Primary source verification — all four elements of the claim are directly observable in the prompt.

Reasoning Chain¶

The Researcher Profile section defines a template with three categories: DECLARED BIASES, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, and ACKNOWLEDGED BLIND SPOTS. [SRC01-E01, High reliability, High relevance]
Step 1 (Receive and Clarify) includes "Researcher profile check" with instructions to "review the researcher profile against this specific input" and "stop and tell the researcher explicitly" if relevant biases or conflicts are found. [SRC01-E01, High reliability, High relevance]
Step 9 (Self-Audit) includes: "Also check the researcher profile: did any of the researcher's declared biases or conflicts of interest influence the questions asked, the searches designed, or the interpretation of results?" [SRC01-E01, High reliability, High relevance]
The profile section includes usage instructions: "When evaluating evidence that aligns with a declared bias, apply extra scrutiny" and "When a declared conflict of interest is relevant, flag it explicitly in the report." [SRC01-E01, High reliability, High relevance]
JUDGMENT: All four elements of the claim (three categories + calibration at start + verification at audit) are confirmed.

Evidence Base Summary¶

Source	Description	Reliability	Relevance	Key Finding
SRC01	Prompt snapshot	High	High	Profile template, Step 1 check, Step 9 audit all present

Collection Synthesis¶

Dimension	Assessment
Evidence quality	Robust — Primary source
Source agreement	N/A — Single source
Source independence	N/A
Outliers	None

Gaps¶

Missing Evidence	Impact on Assessment
Evidence of actual profile usage in practice	Low — claim is about what the methodology supports, not how it's used

Researcher Bias Check¶

Declared biases: No researcher profile provided.

Influence assessment: Ironic observation — this research run itself has no researcher profile, which is exactly the kind of gap the profile is designed to address. Noted in self-audit.
