What it does
A research report that opens with the conclusion, ranks every source by trust, and states what remains unknown. Readers can see how you got there and how sure you are. First you write the question in one sentence, with at most three sub-questions. Then sources are tiered before searching: primary ones such as official documents and original papers, secondary ones such as reputable press, and tertiary ones such as forums, which count as leads only. Key claims are cross-checked against more than one source. The report puts the answer first, then the evidence, then the gaps and uncertainty. It suits topic studies and competitor analysis.
