Evidence behind every answer.

01 / The task

Start with a concrete assignment.

Compare three approaches to a business problem and produce a sourced recommendation that respects the brief's constraints.

Input materials

A decision brief, audience, budget, time horizon, and source policy. Define what is already known, which questions need research, and what a useful recommendation must enable.

02 / The workflow

Carry the task through.

1. 01

   Translate the request into decision criteria and search questions, noting missing information that could change the answer.

2. 02

   Gather relevant evidence, compare source dates and authority, and record disagreements instead of flattening them into certainty.

3. 03

   Compare options against the same criteria, explain trade-offs, and propose an actionable next step with supporting citations.

03 / The deliverables

Work you can inspect.

• 01Research brief
• 02Evidence map
• 03Reference report
• 04Scoring rubric

04 / The evaluation

Make the criteria explicit.

Check citation support, coverage, reasoning, uncertainty, and whether the recommendation can be acted on.

• Each material factual claim is supported by a relevant, accessible source.
• Advice respects the user's constraints and addresses the decision behind the question.
• The report separates evidence, assumptions, and judgment, with uncertainty reflected in the recommendation.
