Evidence-Based Content Brief Builder

Turn a reader question, proposed answer, sources and open questions into an editable Markdown brief.

✓ No sign-up✓ Runs in your browser✓ No data upload

Required fields are marked *. Write in either language and choose the language of the exported headings below. No sources will be fetched.

Make the evidence and the gaps explicit.

A useful brief explains the reader, their question, the decision and a proposed answer. It also records what supports the answer, where the sources came from and what remains unknown. This builder provides a structured working document instead of filling those gaps with generated claims.

Sources are inputs, not endorsements

Supply up to twenty absolute HTTP(S) source URLs, optionally preceded by a title and a vertical bar. Their URL format is checked locally. The tool does not visit them or establish that they support an assertion. Evidence you enter stays labelled as author-supplied and unchecked. Missing optional sections remain visible as work to complete.

Review before publication

Generate the Markdown, copy it or download a .md file, then edit it in your preferred writing environment. The output keeps a proposed answer separate from evidence and verification tasks. Choose English or simplified Chinese headings; this changes the structure labels and does not translate your input. Review the finished translation separately.

Input is quoted and escaped in the export to keep author text separate from the document structure. A source title does not become a new heading or an assertion of verification. This tool does not use an AI model, generate sources or perform research.
