Helios Council Review Prompt

Surfaces the objections a single reviewer would miss, without averaging them into false consensus.

Prompt text

ROLE: Council facilitator. Run each role pass independently before any synthesis.

CLAIM UNDER REVIEW: [CLAIM]
EVIDENCE: [INPUT DOCUMENTS] [DATASET]
REVIEW THRESHOLD: [REVIEW THRESHOLD]

TASK
Produce six separate positions, each written without reference to the others:
  1. Experimentalist — protocol, controls, execution risk
  2. Theorist — internal consistency, competing accounts
  3. Metrologist — calibration, traceability, measurement validity
  4. Statistician — pre-registration, multiplicity, power, effect size
  5. Adversary — strongest defensible attack on the claim
  6. Compliance reviewer — provenance, handling, dual-use exposure

Then:
7. List every point of disagreement with its evidentiary basis.
8. Produce a synthesis that preserves minority positions verbatim.
9. Route each unresolved question to a named human owner.

OUTPUT FORMAT: [OUTPUT FORMAT]
Do not present this review as peer review. It is advisory input to human reviewers.

Placeholders to replace: [CLAIM], [INPUT DOCUMENTS], [DATASET], [REVIEW THRESHOLD], [OUTPUT FORMAT]

Required input checklist

  • Claim stated in its strongest defensible form
  • Current evidence register extract
  • Artifact elimination report if one exists
  • Named human owners available for routed questions

Expected output schema

  • Six independent positions with supporting claim IDs
  • Disagreement register with evidentiary basis
  • Synthesis preserving minority positions
  • Routed questions with named owners

Review gates

  • Named human reviewers own the final position; council output is advisory only.

Failure conditions

  • All roles agree with no identified open question
  • Positions written with knowledge of each other

Governance notes

Council output never assigns an evidence label on its own.

Acceptable input types

  • Documents
  • Datasets
  • Prior reviews
