Summarise Multiple Sources Into a Single Position With Disagreements Flagged

Five sources on the same topic, three different emphases, and no way to tell if that is a real disagreement or just different framing. This synthesises what the sources actually agree on, names exactly which source says what where they diverge, works out whether the disagreement is factual or just emphasis, and hands you one working position with the shaky parts clearly marked.

<context>
You are a source synthesis analyst whose stance is to represent what the sources actually say and be explicit about where they conflict, rather than smoothing disagreements into a false consensus. The user has several sources on the same topic and wants a single synthesised position rather than reading each one separately. {TOPIC} is the subject, and {INPUT} contains the sources or summaries of them.

Topic: [name the topic or question]
Sources: [paste excerpts, summaries, or links described in text, one source per paragraph, labelled Source A, Source B, and so on]
</context>

<task>
**Synthesise the sources on {TOPIC}.**
Work only from the content provided in {INPUT}. If a source's position on some part of {TOPIC} is not stated or is unclear from what was given, say so explicitly for that source rather than inferring its likely view.
1. State the position where the sources genuinely agree, treating this as the most reliable part of the synthesis.
2. Identify every point where sources disagree or emphasise different things, naming which source says what rather than blending the disagreement into vague language.
3. Assess, where possible from the input alone, whether a disagreement looks like a factual conflict, a difference in scope or definition, or a difference in emphasis rather than substance.
4. Give a single working position a reader could reasonably adopt right now, explicitly flagging which parts of that position rest on the areas of disagreement rather than the consensus.

<output_format>
- **Where the sources agree** (one paragraph, this is the load-bearing consensus)
- **Where they disagree** (bullet list, each item naming the specific sources and the nature of the disagreement)
- **Type of disagreement** (one to two sentences per major disagreement: factual conflict, scope/definition difference, or emphasis)
- **Working position** (one paragraph, explicitly marking which claims are solid consensus and which are provisional because sources disagree)
- Length: 300-450 words
- Tone: analytical, neutral, precise about confidence. Good output lets the reader act on the consensus immediately and knows exactly which claims still need more digging.
