METHODOLOGY_01

Built to be checked.

Fast research is easy. Research you can repeat in a boardroom is the hard part. Here is exactly how a briefing earns its claims.

AI can produce a confident answer in seconds. Confidence is cheap. Every Yudame briefing runs through a pipeline that treats each claim as unproven until it survives cross-checking, an adversarial pass, and a set of publication gates. When a report fails a gate, it goes back for rewriting. What reaches your podcast app is the version that passed.

Six passes between a topic and your ears.

Each pass has one job. Together they separate what the evidence supports from what merely sounds right.

PASS_01

Research runs on independent engines

Your topic goes to multiple deep-research providers, each with its own sources and its own blind spots. At least three must return real findings before the pipeline moves forward.

3+ SOURCES REQUIRED
PASS_02

Every claim is cross-checked

Findings are compared across all providers. Claims confirmed by two or more sources, claims resting on a single source, and claims where sources disagree are each marked as such.

EVERY CLAIM
PASS_03

Weak claims face a refutation pass

Load-bearing claims that rest on one source, or sit in conflict, get an adversarial pass whose only job is to knock them down. Refuted claims are dropped. Weakened claims are reframed as counterpoints, with the doubt kept visible.

ADVERSARIAL
PASS_04

The written report is re-verified

After the narrative is written, a separate critic re-reads each load-bearing claim against the research evidence alone, never against the report's own prose. Unsupported statements, invented statistics, and anything contradicting facts you gave us send the report back for rewriting.

BLOCKS PUBLICATION
PASS_05

Numbers get their own audit

Every cited figure is re-checked for currency, unit, and denominator against its source. A dollar figure quoted in the wrong currency, or a ratio with a shifted baseline, is a failure, and the report goes back.

BLOCKS PUBLICATION
PASS_06

No dangling citations, ever

A deterministic check resolves every citation in the report to a declared source. This one involves no judgment call at all: a citation that points nowhere is a hard stop.

HARD STOP

The path a briefing travels.

A report that fails a gate loops back for another research or writing round. Publication is the exit, never the default.

INDEPENDENT ENGINES each provider researches separately, then results are compared
BOUNDED LOOP-BACK unresolved conflicts trigger one more round of targeted research
GATES, NOT GRADES a failed check sends the report back for rewriting, with the failure attached as instructions

Your facts outrank the internet.

Sources carry different weight, and the ordering is strict.

TIER_01

Ground truth: what you tell us

Facts and documents you provide sit at the top of the hierarchy. When web research disagrees with your ground truth, the conflict resolves in your favor, and a report claim that contradicts your facts cannot publish.

TIER_02

The open web, verified

General research findings rank below your facts and earn their place through corroboration. A claim standing on a single web source is labeled that way in the underlying research, never silently promoted.

Method Multi-source deep research, synthesised
Sources Every claim cited & traceable
Validation Cross-checked across independent providers

Rigor you can listen to on a run.

All of this runs so you can press play with confidence. One plan, everything included.
