## Takeaways
- Normalize inputs before fusion.
- Use a single prompt contract for all modalities.
- Return provenance for each input.

## Normalize inputs

Convert audio, images, and text into consistent summaries or embeddings before fusion.

## Fusion prompt

Use a single prompt contract that describes how each modality should be weighted.

## Latency handling

Stream partial results when one modality is slower to arrive.
