AI Crypto Data Reconciliation: Trace the Conclusion Back to the Tool Results

A reconciliation answer explains why two sources differ. Its explanation should trace to definitions and values in the tool output, not general knowledge.

Short answer

To verify an AI reconciliation, check that both sources' values appear in tool output for the same window and timezone, that the claimed definitional differences (venues, units, candle alignment) are documented in fetched material, and that the explanation accounts for the size of the difference. An explanation that would produce a 1% gap can't explain an 8% one.

Illustrative: the timezone explanation was real but only accounted for about 1% of an 8% gap; the rest came from a venue missing in one source.
