Prompt
Extract every piece of concrete evidence from the sources in this notebook — every statistic, data point, named example, case study, direct quote, and specific claim that could be cited in an argument. Organize the evidence by type: 1. Quantitative — numbers, percentages, dollar amounts, timeframes, sample sizes. Include the exact figure and source. 2. Case studies and examples — named instances where something happened. Include who, what, and the outcome. 3. Expert claims — assertions made by a named or credentialed person. Include their exact words where possible and their credentials or affiliation. 4. Comparisons — any before/after, A vs. B, or benchmarking data. Include both sides of the comparison. For each piece of evidence: - Quote or paraphrase the specific passage. - Name the source. - Rate its strength: [primary] (original data or firsthand account), [secondary] (citing someone else's data), or [unsourced] (claimed without attribution in the original source). End with: - The single strongest piece of evidence in the notebook — the one you'd lead with in any argument. - The single weakest — the one most likely to be challenged. - A count: how many pieces of evidence are quantitative vs. qualitative. If the notebook leans heavily one way, note what's missing.
