    GEN = Generated from domain expertise (no specific source)
    RES = Adapted from specific public research finding
    VAL = Generated first, then validated/enriched by research

    Note: Research claims halved from raw agent output to reflect
    actual verification confidence. Many "RES" sections use research
    to enrich generated structure — the structure itself is still GEN.
    Some benchmarks come from training data (not web-verified URLs).
