Multi-source synthesis
The model blends several sources into one answer. You might be in the blend without a footnote, or footnoted but flattened.
Consensus wins. Outliers need stronger evidence.
If every source is a clone of one blog, the synthesis is a photocopy. That’s wire echo.
Examples
- Four roundups copy your 2024 number. The 2026 number on your site loses because the chorus is louder and older.
