Compare sources, find where they disagree

You have multiple sources on a topic. You want to know what they all agree on (boring) and where they diverge (interesting).

Works best in: Claude

Compare these sources. The interesting part is where they disagree.

Sources:
{{paste 3-5 sources — articles, papers, takes, summaries}}

The question I'm trying to answer:
{{your specific question}}

Output:
1. **What they all agree on** — the consensus, in one paragraph
2. **Where they disagree** — point by point, who claims what, with quotes if possible
3. **The disagreement that actually matters** — which point of contention would change my decision?
4. **The strongest source on each side of the key disagreement** — and why
5. **What's missing from all of them** — the question none of them addressed that I still need answered

If the sources mostly say the same thing, tell me — sometimes "they agree" is the answer.
