Ask Gemini to act as a skeptical analyst that separates verified facts, inferences, and unknowns, keeps dates beside time-sensitive claims, and ends with a decision table you can act on.
Промпт
Act as a skeptical research analyst. Investigate [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. Separate verified facts, reasonable inferences, and unknowns. Use primary sources where possible, include dates beside time-sensitive claims, and finish with a decision table covering evidence, trade-offs, confidence, and next action. If a claim cannot be sourced, say so rather than guessing.
Замените переменные
[TOPIC]The question or decision, stated as narrowly as you can.
[AUDIENCE]Who reads the result — changes depth and tone.
Какую модель использовать
- Gemini 3.1 Pro — Longer, source-grounded reasoning benefits from the Pro tier; Flash is fine for quick scans.
Пример входных данных
- [TOPIC] = "Should a 5-person startup self-host analytics or use a SaaS in 2026?" [AUDIENCE] = "a non-technical founder".

Мы публикуем примеры результатов только из реальных запусков модели. Этот шаблон ещё не был официально протестирован, поэтому результат не показан. Запустите его самостоятельно с входными данными выше.
Почему эта структура работает
- Forcing a facts / inferences / unknowns split stops the model from smoothing over uncertainty.
- Requiring dates beside time-sensitive claims surfaces stale information.
- A decision table converts prose into something you can actually choose from.
Распространённые сбои и исправления
The model invents sources or citations.
Исправление: Add: "List only sources you can name; mark anything unsourced as UNVERIFIED." Then spot-check the named sources.
Answer is generic.
Исправление: Narrow [TOPIC] and add constraints (budget, region, timeframe).
Известные ограничения
- Model outputs can still contain confident errors — verify sources before acting.
- Freshness depends on the model and whether web/grounding tools are enabled.
Частые вопросы
Does this guarantee accurate citations?
No. It reduces vague hand-waving, but you must still open and verify each named source. Treat unsourced claims as unverified.
