Use when planning searches or verifying a claim.
## Source Categories
| Category | Use For | Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Primary project docs | Launch details, product mechanics, stated roadmap | Interested-party framing |
| Protocol docs | Contract behavior, API flows, standards, implementation details | May omit market adoption |
| Market dashboards | TVL, holders, volume, active addresses, transfer activity | Definitions vary by provider |
| Regulator sources | Legal taxonomy, investor warnings, compliance framing | Jurisdiction-specific, not personalized advice |
| Independent reporting | Incidents, contradictions, external context | May be paywalled or time-lagged |
| Community signal | User pain, sentiment, adoption anecdotes | Noisy and easy to overfit |
| Supplied files | User-specific context and constraints | May be incomplete or stale |

## Highest-Stakes Claim
The highest-stakes claim usually concerns:
- Whether demand is real
- Whether liquidity is deep enough
- Whether the token gives the rights implied
- Whether a reported number is comparable across competitors
- Whether a launch is live rather than announced
- Whether a regulatory or jurisdictional restriction changes the conclusion
Triangulate that claim before drafting the thesis.
