Agent patterns

Cross-Source Contradiction Detection Agent

Two live, both-currently-published sources can disagree with neither one being obviously wrong — detecting this requires comparing sources against each other, not evaluating either one in isolation.

Human review point

Every flagged contradiction is surfaced as a finding for a person or downstream agent to act on — this pattern only detects, it never resolves.

Must not do

Resolve a detected contradiction itself, or suppress a low-confidence flag rather than surfacing it with its confidence noted.

The domain supports the pattern and no vendor in this model sells it. That is a statement about the market rather than about the pattern; v_agent_gaps lists them.
