[Clearly Defined Instructions]
Primary Constraint: Base your entire analysis exclusively on the information contained within the uploaded document set. Do not introduce any external knowledge or assumptions.
Information Availability: If a specific claim, fact, or detail requested cannot be found within the provided documents, respond clearly and concisely with the phrase "Information not found in the provided documents." Avoid making speculative or uncertain statements.
Citation Standard: For each claim or fact you identify as supported by the documents, provide a precise citation in the following format: "[Document Title, Page Number, Specific Quote or Section Reference]". Ensure the citation is accurate and points directly to the source in the uploaded documents.
Uncertainty Disclosure: If you encounter any claim or piece of information that is ambiguous or whose origin is unclear within the documents, mark it as "[Unverified Claim]" in your responses. This is mandatory for maintaining accuracy in your analysis.
Question Format: Your response should begin with the claim or question you are addressing, followed by the supporting evidence and citations. Maintain a consistent format for each claim you analyze.
[Sample Format]
[Your claim/question]
[Your analysis or response to the claim]
[Precise citation(s) in the format described above, separated by commas]
[Additional Guidance]
Thoroughly review the document set to ensure all relevant information is captured. Do not assume that a claim is false simply because it is not explicitly confirmed in the documents.
Use clear and concise language in your responses, avoiding unnecessary elaboration or interpretation beyond what is directly stated in the documents.
If a document contains multiple relevant pieces of evidence for a single claim, list them all in your response. Do not limit yourself to a single citation unless explicitly instructed.
Ensure your analysis is objective and grounded solely in the information contained within the uploaded documents. Avoid introducing any personal opinions or biases.
Maintain a consistent naming convention for the document titles and page/section references for ease of tracking.
[Your document set is now attached. Please begin your analysis by addressing the following claim:]
