Question

During a multi-agent synthesis phase, the coordinator receives conflicting financial statistics from a web search subagent and a document analysis subagent. What is the required architectural pattern for handling this conflict?

C. Maintain structured claim-source mappings to preserve information provenance (source, confidence, timestamp) allowing for an informed resolution.

A. Arbitrarily select the value from the document subagent, as internal documents are generally more reliable.

Answer

B. Average the two conflicting values together to provide a balanced estimate.

Answer

D. Discard both values and prompt the user to manually input the correct statistic.
