A COMPLETE RESEARCH THREAD
From question to defensible answer.
Define the question
State the decision, the expected brief, the source boundary, and the minimum evidence standard.
Collect and compare
Search, parse, summarize, and normalize findings while preserving their source context.
Review direction
Confirm that the evidence supports the intended analysis before the final synthesis.
Deliver with proof
Receive the brief, source map, acceptance record, and remaining questions as one package.
Review 12 sources and draft a market thesis.
Acceptance: at least eight accessible sources, three subtopics, a resolveable evidence map, and one human confirmation of the direction.
