Short answer: Yes—Claude is worth testing for systematic reviews that need very long context. Its long‑context models usually sustain stepwise reasoning and consolidated synthesis better than short‑window models. It won’t, by itself, guarantee reproducible source‑tracking: build a RAG pipeline (chunk PDFs, embeddings), log prompts and model/version, run independent double extraction, and manually verify citations. Use Claude for synthesis but enforce strict provenance and QC.
