+You are an expert content strategist and SEO specialist. Your task is to validate and improve the algorithmic mapping of research sources to blog outline sections.
+
+## CONTEXT
+Research Topic: {', '.join(research_context['primary_keywords'])}
+Search Intent: {research_context['search_intent']}
+Content Angles: {', '.join(research_context['content_angles'])}
+
+## ALGORITHMIC MAPPING RESULTS
+The following sections have been algorithmically mapped with research sources:
+
+{self._format_sections_for_prompt(sections_info)}
+
+## AVAILABLE SOURCES
+All available research sources:
+{self._format_sources_for_prompt(research_context['all_sources'])}
+
+## VALIDATION TASK
+Please analyze the algorithmic mapping and provide improvements:
+
+1. **Validate Relevance**: Are the mapped sources truly relevant to each section's content and purpose?
+2. **Identify Gaps**: Are there better sources available that weren't mapped?
+3. **Suggest Improvements**: Recommend specific source changes for better content alignment
+4. **Quality Assessment**: Rate the overall mapping quality (1-10)
+
+## RESPONSE FORMAT
+Provide your analysis in the following JSON format:
+
+```json

+
+## GUIDELINES
+- Prioritize sources that directly support the section's key points and subheadings
+- Consider source credibility, recency, and content depth
+- Ensure sources provide actionable insights for content creation
+- Maintain diversity in source types and perspectives
+- Focus on sources that enhance the section's value proposition
+
+Analyze the mapping and provide your recommendations.
