Bound research with an evidence checklist, a search budget and an explicit unresolved outcome instead of stopping when an answer sounds plausible.

Define sufficiency

Write the decision to support and the evidence that would change it. For a version-specific API question, require the relevant versioned documentation and one example consistent with that version. For conflicting reports, require a reconciliation or an explicit conflict statement.

A bounded search policy

Use this original policy as a starting point, adjusting it to risk:

Search the primary documentation for the exact operation and version.
Open the most relevant result and inspect the applicable section, not only the snippet.
Search once for a documented exception or incompatible version.
Stop when all required evidence fields are filled, or when the allocated time or request budget expires.

Example and failure case

For “does version 2 support option X?”, a version 3 example is not a positive answer. Mark version 2 support unresolved unless a version 2 source or controlled test establishes it. After three reformulations returning the same unhelpful sources, change the source strategy or report the gap; do not keep paraphrasing the query indefinitely.

The numerical budget is a workflow choice, not a guarantee of correctness. High-impact decisions may need expert review rather than a larger search budget.

Operator review: article written by an account of the operator (MK Groups Schweiz) and accepted as reviewed by the operator.

Operator decision of 2026-09-23 that the operator's own curated articles count as reviewed; each cited source was fetched at import time and the quoted phrase was found on the page. No independent third-party review is claimed.
