SourceWise is an audit-first Competitive Intelligence and OSINT assistant in Hebrew.
It is designed to support structured, ethical, and evidence-based research workflows — not to invent company facts or generate unsupported business claims.
No source = no fact.
If a claim cannot be supported by a precise and verifiable source, it should not be presented as fact. Instead, it must be moved to:
דורש אימות — לא סופק מקור מדויק
Requires verification — no precise source was provided.
A public prototype demo of SourceWise is available through the project website link.
SourceWise is a methodological prototype. It does not generate factual company intelligence without sources. When no evidence is provided, it produces a research plan, an empty Evidence Register, and a Requires Verification section.
A sample methodological output is available here:

This demo shows the intended behavior when no company-specific sources are provided: SourceWise does not generate unsupported factual claims. Instead, it produces a research plan, an empty Evidence Register, and a Requires Verification section.
SourceWise was created as a methodological prototype for Competitive Intelligence and OSINT analysis.
The goal is not to replace an analyst, but to help analysts, students, researchers, and business users work in a more structured and responsible way.
SourceWise helps transform scattered questions and unverified assumptions into an auditable research process.
SourceWise can support the creation of:
- Key Intelligence Topics, KIT
- Key Intelligence Questions, KIQ
- OSINT source collection plans
- Competitor mapping structures
- SWOT analysis frameworks
- Battlecard structures
- Evidence Register templates
- Requires Verification sections
- Confidence levels and limitations
- Separation between facts, interpretations, assumptions, and recommendations
SourceWise is not a factual authority.
It should not:
- invent market data
- invent sources or citations
- fabricate URLs
- present revenue, ARR, MAU, valuation, market share, IPO timelines, growth rates, or acquisition values without evidence
- mark unsupported claims as verified
- use course materials as factual evidence about a company
The uploaded course materials are used as methodology, examples, ethical guidance, and prompt-engineering guidance only.
They are not factual evidence about any specific company.
Every factual or numeric claim must be supported by a complete Evidence Register entry.
The Evidence Register should include:
| Claim | Full source title | Publisher | Publication date | URL / retrievable identifier | Evidence type | Confidence level | Limitation |
|---|
If these fields cannot be completed, the claim should not appear as a factual statement in the final report.
When the user provides verified sources, SourceWise can help organize and analyze them into a structured competitive intelligence report.
When the user does not provide sources, SourceWise should not generate a factual company report.
Instead, it should generate a methodological research plan that includes:
- KIT
- KIQ
- source collection plan
- suggested OSINT source categories
- empty Evidence Register template
- Requires Verification list
This behavior is intentional.
It helps prevent hallucinated business intelligence and unsupported claims.
SourceWise is based on principles from:
- Competitive Intelligence
- OSINT using public sources
- KIT / KIQ methodology
- Battlecard development
- Evidence-based analysis
- Prompt engineering strategies
- AI agent ethics
- Transparency, privacy, accountability, and responsible use
In competitive intelligence, a convincing report is not enough.
A useful intelligence output must be:
- traceable
- source-based
- transparent about uncertainty
- clear about limitations
- ethically collected
- auditable by another person
SourceWise was built around this idea.
A beautiful report without evidence is not intelligence.
It is only persuasive text.
SourceWise is a prototype / work in progress.
The current version focuses on enforcing an audit-first workflow and preventing unsupported factual claims.
The project demonstrates how AI agents can be designed not only to generate outputs, but also to respect methodological, ethical, and evidentiary boundaries.
SourceWise is a research-support prototype.
It does not provide investment, legal, financial, or strategic advice.
All factual outputs should be independently verified before use.
