What it is for

Decision-grade research: topic overviews, competitor and industry analysis, literature reviews, fact checks with conflicting sources flagged, synthesis of expert positions, trend scans, due diligence on a partner or investment, interpretation of numbers found in public sources and one-page executive briefs, with every claim tied to a dated source read in the session and unknowns named instead of filled in. Use whenever someone asks what is known about a subject: research X for me, who else does this, is this claim true, what is the market size, brief me before I meet them, summarise this literature, even if they never say research.

Not for

  • Turning findings into a recommendation and roadmap (use strategy-memo)
  • For analysing the user's own dataset (use data-readout)
  • For being taught a topic step by step (use topic-primer)
