The outcome

Get a decision-ready brief rather than a confident-looking answer.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Define the question, geography, date range, audience, and decision the research will support.

  2. 02

    Ask for a research plan and the types of primary sources it will prioritize.

  3. 03

    Require a source beside every material factual claim and ask for publication dates.

  4. 04

    Open the decisive sources and compare their wording with the summary.

  5. 05

    Finish with assumptions, conflicting evidence, missing information, and a recommended next check.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Prefer primary sources over roundups.
  • Treat citations as leads to inspect.
  • Record the date the research was completed.
