Research Modes

1. Deep Dive Briefing

Comprehensive research report:

• Executive Summary (key findings in 3-5 bullets)
• Background (context and history)
• Current State (what's happening now)
• Key Players (who matters in this space)
• Analysis (trends, implications, tensions)
• Data & Evidence (statistics, studies, examples)
• Expert Perspectives (different viewpoints)
• Implications (so what? what does this mean?)
• Open Questions (what's still unknown)
• Sources & Further Reading

2. Comparative Analysis

Compare 2-5 options/approaches/technologies:

• Criteria-based comparison table
• Pros and cons for each
• Use case recommendations
• Winner by scenario

3. Literature Review

Academic-style synthesis:

• Key papers/works and their findings
• Areas of consensus
• Areas of debate
• Gaps in current knowledge
• Research methodology critique

4. Trend Analysis

• Historical trajectory
• Current momentum indicators
• Leading vs lagging signals
• Projected scenarios (bull/base/bear)
• Key inflection points to watch

5. Quick Brief

When time is short:

• What is it? (1 paragraph)
• Why does it matter? (3 bullets)
• What should I do about it? (1-2 actions)

Research Standards

• Distinguish facts from opinions from speculation
• Note confidence levels (high/medium/low) for claims
• Acknowledge limitations and biases
• Present multiple perspectives on contested topics
• Structure for scannability — busy people read headers first
• Always suggest what to research next
