Turn a pile of sources into a useful briefing

The walkthrough

1. Start with a question

   Write the decision you need to make before collecting links. For a product launch, ask what changed, who it affects and what is still unknown. This keeps a research session from becoming an endless list of interesting pages.

2. Collect the original evidence

   Prefer the announcement, documentation or research paper behind a claim. Add independent reporting when it provides context. Check what the tool actually imported: a video transcript or webpage text may omit charts, comments and images.

3. Ask for a claim-by-claim brief

   Request a source for each main claim and a separate list of disagreements. Keep published dates beside the claims so an older announcement is not presented as a new development.

4. Open the supporting passages

   Read the cited passage, not just the linked title. A real citation can still fail to support the sentence next to it. Remove unsupported claims and label estimates as estimates before sharing the brief.

Text to start with

Replace the bracketed sections with your own details.

Using these sources, answer: [question]. For each main claim, give the source title, publication date and supporting passage or citation. Separate agreements, disagreements and unanswered questions. Do not turn an absence of evidence into a confirmed fact.

Check the result

• Does each citation support that exact claim?
• Are two reports repeating the same original source?
• Did imported text omit a chart or table needed for the conclusion?

Before paying

Try a small source set first. Upgrade only if source limits, research limits or collaboration features prevent a workflow you already find useful.
