Common Issues

Theo did not use the expected source — Name the source explicitly and ask Theo to cite or summarize the material it used.

The result is too broad — Narrow the topic, time period, system, assumptions, or desired output.

The result is too brief — Switch to Detailed view or request specific sections, evidence, derivations, or limitations.

You want a different workflow — Request a phase by name or select it manually.

A phase failed or stopped — Retry with a smaller task, confirm that required sources are available, and preserve the error details when requesting support.

A claim will be used in important work — Run Citation Verification and inspect the underlying source before relying on it.

You need to revisit earlier work — Open Lineage and return to the relevant research step or artifact.
