Illustrative example — your result will vary
Example request
Question: Which beginner pottery workshop fits someone who works weekdays 9–5? Source A (fictional flyer): "Northside Library Workshop — Saturdays 10am–12pm. Free. 12 seats." Source B (fictional email): "Riverside Community Center — Tuesday evenings from 6pm. $15 per session, materials included."
Example result
Short answer: Both could fit; Northside is free and on weekends, Riverside is a weekday evening option.

| Northside runs Saturdays 10am–12pm, free, 12 seats | Source A |

Unknowns: Neither source says whether it suits beginners. Riverside's end time and Northside's materials cost aren't stated.
Suggestion (not a fact from the sources): Ask both organizers whether beginners are welcome before booking.
A useful result has
- ☐ Each finding names which of your sources it came from
- ☐ Unknowns and gaps are listed, not filled in
- ☐ Suggestions are labelled separately from facts
- ☐ No citations you didn't supply, and no claim that it searched the web unless it really did

Please re-check your answer: list each claim with the source it came from, mark anything not in my sources as 'needs checking', and keep your suggestions separate from the facts.
