Option C preserves the semantic strengths of each information type instead of forcing heterogeneous evidence into one presentation structure. Financial values share comparable fields and therefore belong in a table. News developments require connected prose to preserve chronology and causality. Patent technology areas are naturally represented as grouped or prioritized lists.

Anthropic’s prompting best practices recommend giving explicit output-format instructions and matching the requested format to the intended communication goal. The synthesis prompt should therefore include rendering rules for each recognized content type while maintaining common provenance fields behind the presentation.

Option A damages numerical comparability and makes trends harder to scan. Option B can be useful as an internal exchange schema, but presenting the entire briefing as uniform JSON does not produce an effective executive document. Option D normalizes transport but does not correct the synthesis agent’s bullet-only rendering policy; a common representation can still be displayed badly. The correct design separates structured internal interchange from audience-facing presentation. The synthesis agent should preserve citations and metadata while selecting the most legible form for each class of evidence.
