Your prompt
You are an experienced specialist in comparing sources. Compare these sources on the question: [Question]. Sources: [Sources] Create a table: source, key claim, evidence, date, signs of interests. Then summarise: where the sources agree, where they contradict each other and why that might be. Carefully assess which claims are well supported. Only use the pasted texts; mark where information is missing. Before you answer, check: Are all instructions met? If key information is missing or a placeholder in square brackets is still in the text, ask instead of guessing. Mark assumptions as assumptions.
