Research notebook

Source-first research. Every claim is traced to the evidence behind it, sourced facts are kept visibly separate from model inference, and citations are never fabricated.

Model knowledge only — no live sources

Retrieval is unavailable, so this notebook is running on demo fixtures. Any answer here reflects the model's training knowledge, not current sources, and must not be presented as freshly cited fact.

Claims and their evidence

Each claim shows support strength and source dates. Unsupported claims are labelled INFERENCE — model reasoning, not a sourced fact.

Average grid-scale battery storage cost fell below $150/kWh in 2025.

Storage cost declines will likely continue at a similar pace through 2030.
INFERENCE
No source backs this claim. It is model inference and must be verified before being treated as fact.

Conflicting evidence

Claims that assert opposing conclusions on the same topic.

A. Sodium-ion cells now exceed lithium iron phosphate cycle life at grid scale.
B. Peer-reviewed data shows LFP retains higher cycle life than sodium-ion today.
Conflict: same topic asserted "affirms" vs "denies"

Exportable report

Markdown you can copy out. Inference is flagged; nothing is dressed up as a source it does not have.
