Integrate evidence from multiple disciplines bearing on the question in {question_context}, since strong conclusions come from independent lines converging. (1) Catalog the lines of evidence by discipline and by what each independently establishes, because the strength of a cross-disciplinary case rests on independence — three studies sharing a method or dataset are one line, not three. (2) Assess each line on its own terms using that field's standards of rigor, resisting the temptation to over-credit a field you know less well or dismiss one outside your training. (3) Check for consilience: do the independent lines point the same direction? Convergence from methods with unrelated failure modes is powerful precisely because they can't all be wrong the same way. (4) Take contradictions between lines seriously rather than siding with the familiar discipline — a genuine conflict signals that at least one field's interpretation is incomplete, which is where the real insight hides. (5) Weight the integrated conclusion by the joint strength, noting that weak lines don't add up to a strong case and that correlated errors can create false convergence. (6) State the integrated verdict with its confidence, which line is load-bearing, and what evidence from which discipline would most change it.
