# Evidence Collection
This skill guides the creation of structured Evidence Objects for a single research pillar.
## Prerequisites
- Ledger workspace initialized (`/ledger-init` completed)
- Pillar assignment (which pillar to research)
- Research scope from `01-pillars/PILLARS.md`
## Workflow
Use TodoWrite to track these mandatory steps:
<required>
1. Load pillar scope and research questions
2. Identify evidence sources
3. Collect raw evidence
4. Create Evidence Objects with semantic IDs
5. Validate evidence quality
6. Check evidence gate (minimum 5 per pillar)
</required>
### Step 1: Load Pillar Scope
Read `01-pillars/PILLARS.md` to understand:
- Pillar priority level
- Specific research questions for this pillar
- Any scope restrictions
See [references/research-protocols.md](references/research-protocols.md) for pillar-specific protocols.
### Step 2: Identify Evidence Sources
For each research question, identify potential sources:
| Source Type | Examples | Typical Confidence |
|-------------|----------|-------------------|
| `url` | Research reports, documentation | 60-90 |
| `pdf` | Academic papers, whitepapers | 70-95 |
| `interview` | User interviews, expert calls | 50-80 |
| `internal-doc` | Company data, prior research | 60-85 |
| `experiment` | A/B tests, prototypes | 70-95 |
| `dataset` | Analytics, survey results | 65-90 |
### Step 3: Collect Raw Evidence
For each source:
1. Extract the key claim(s)
2. Note supporting quotes/data
3. Assess confidence
