# Recorded citations for multi-model business decision support

A source-landscape analysis of 3Dogs citation observations for AI second opinions, multi-model deliberation and high-stakes business decision support.

Prepared by **3Dogs Research** · Reviewer: **3Dogs internal research review** · Revision: **2026-08-18** · First-party review, not independent validation.

> **Evidence boundary.** The records show what named probes displayed at recorded times. They do not establish that a cited source is accurate, that an uncited source is absent from every answer, or that one product is better than another. This report was generated from candidate records only; the underlying probes were not rerun.
