Multi-stage research workflow from question decomposition to cited synthesis. Mirrors professional research methodology with AI for analysts, consultants, academics, and researchers. ## Why This Pack Exists AI research tools find sources. Citation managers store references. Summarizers condense papers. **None provide systematic METHODOLOGY.** This pack fills that gap with a complete, professional research workflow that: ✓ Mirrors academic standards ✓ Includes quality controls (confidence scoring, fact-checking) ✓ Produces multiple outputs (briefs, bibliographies, slides) ✓ Maintains intellectual rigor **Built for researchers who need to defend their findings.** ## 🎯 Quick Start Paths ### Academic Research Paper → Query Decomposer → Source Gathering → Annotated Bibliography → Synthesis & Argument ### Consulting Brief → Query Decomposer → Cross-Reference Analyzer → Confidence Dashboard → Executive Brief ### Fact-Checking & Verification → Source Evaluation → Citation Validator → Contradiction Analyzer → Confidence Dashboard ### Grant Application → Query Decomposer → Gap Identifier → Source Gathering → Executive Brief ## Example Output: Confidence Dashboard **Input:** Research on remote work productivity **Output:** | Claim | Confidence | Evidence Strength | Gaps | |-------|------------|-------------------|------| | Remote workers are 13% more productive | 7/10 | 3 peer-reviewed studies | Limited to tech sector | | Collaboration suffers remotely | 6/10 | Mixed findings | Context-dependent | | Hybrid is optimal | 5/10 | Emerging consensus | Long-term data missing | **Overall Confidence: 6.5/10** **Key Limitation:** Most studies conducted during pandemic conditions ## Best Used With **Claude Projects:** Maintain context across all 10 prompts in one session **ChatGPT with Web Search:** For source gathering phase **Perplexity:** Alternative for initial source discovery **Zotero/Mendeley:** Export your annotated bibliography ## vs. Other Research Tools | Tool | What It Does | What's Missing | |------|--------------|----------------| | Perplexity | Finds sources | No methodology, no confidence scoring | | Elicit | Extracts claims | No synthesis, limited quality controls | | ChatGPT | Summarizes | No citations, hallucination risk | | **This Pack** | Complete workflow | Quality controls + multiple outputs | ## The 10-Prompt Pipeline 1. **Query Decomposer** → Break complex questions into researchable sub-questions 2. **Source Gathering Framework** → Strategy for finding credible sources 3. **Cross-Reference Analyzer** → Find agreements and contradictions 4. **Confidence Dashboard** → Assess certainty levels for each claim 5. **Executive Brief Generator** → Stakeholder-ready summary 6. **Citation Validator** → Verify accuracy and check facts 7. **Synthesis & Argument Constructor** → Build logical, cited arguments 8. **Contradiction Analyzer** → Reconcile conflicting findings 9. **Annotated Bibliography** → Properly formatted source documentation 10. **Gap Identifier** → Future research directions
