# Distinctive Detail Anchoring for Historical Figures

## When to use
When the question about a historical figure contains one or two highly unusual, specific details — such as a unique object, a rare event, or an uncommon biographical fact.

## Technique
Historical figure questions contain 1-2 uniquely identifying details. Prioritize these over generic facts (era, nationality).

Distinctiveness ranking:
- High: specific objects ("clay candlestick"), unusual events ("poems in dry well")
- Medium: specific awards, publications, battles
- Low: birth decade, nationality, profession

Search the most distinctive detail first, quoted if a phrase. Niche details are the most effective anchors — they appear on very few pages, all about your target.

## Query Templates
- `"[distinctive detail verbatim]" [relevant context words]`
- `"[unusual object or event]" [person type] [era]`

## Worked Examples

### Example
Question: father Christian, mother Johanna, third of five children, used clay candlestick to read secretly at night.
- Anchor detail: "clay candlestick" for secret reading
- Search: `"clay candlestick" read books secret` — directly found Hahnemann
- Verified: `"Hahnemann five children siblings third of five"` — confirmed birth order

### Example
Question: female poet, poems deposited in dry well after death, born 1720-1764.
- Anchor detail: "dry well" + poems
- Search: `"dry well" poems hidden poetess manuscripts` — directly found Arnimal
- Verified: `"Arnimal manuscripts well hidden protect Kashmiri"` — confirmed

## Anti-pattern
**Ignoring niche details in favor of generic ones**: Searching "poet born 1730s female" is far less effective than searching `"dry well" poems hidden`. The unusual detail is your strongest asset.
