Evidence Linking (Argument)
Link evidence to claims with typed relationships. Searches for supporting and contradicting evidence, creates structured edges, assesses evidence quality, and identifies claims lacking sufficient evidential support.
Budget Slice
| Metric | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|
| Evidence links created | 15 | 40 | 80 |
| Claims with evidence | 8 | 20 | 40 |
| Contradictions found | 2 | 6 | 12 |

Budget Gate
Cannot exit until 80% of budget targets met.
Adversarial Completeness Probe
After budget gate passes, self-check:
- Are there claims with only supporting evidence (confirmation bias)?
- Are there high-confidence claims with weak evidence?
- Is evidence diversity sufficient (multiple independent sources)?
Max 2 extra iterations if gaps found.
Tactics Available
- strength-assessment — evaluate the strength of evidence-claim relationships
SOPs Available
- evidence-attachment — attach evidence to a claim with typed edge
- strength-scoring — assign strength scores to claims based on evidence
