When a Contradiction Is Material Enough to Stop Reliance

Not every inconsistency matters. The key question is whether the contradiction could change the decision or the level of confidence.

Share this guide

Check whether the records concern the same entity, period and proposition.

Reconstruct chronology before assuming two records truly conflict.

Identify whether one source is more authoritative or closer to the underlying event.

If the contradiction remains material, the output should preserve it rather than smooth it away.

Why this matters

A professionally written report should not erase unresolved contradiction simply to create a cleaner narrative.
