Chunking: for each paper extract metadata (title, authors, year, DOI), a 150–300-word summary, methods, key claims, and 3 supporting citations; save as JSON/CSV. Process in batches of 10–15 papers. Workflow: 1) synthesize each batch into themed notes with inline citations and a 3-level confidence (High/Med/Low) plus one-line justification; 2) merge batch syntheses, reconcile conflicts, preserve provenance. Prompt template (Claude): 'Synthesize these N summaries into a structured review section with headings, inline citations, and a 3-level confidence score and justification for each claim.'
