RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Prepare founder-submitted ideas, market assumptions, competitor notes, and draft plans with clear sources, limits, and a human sign-off.

For an authorized purpose, organize supplied business assumptions and source-linked research into a preliminary plan for founder review. Market estimates and viability scores are assumptions, not due diligence or a promise of success. Protect confidential ideas and founder details, trace material claims to current sources, label uncertainty, and require the founder and qualified advisers to approve decisions, outreach, or financial commitments. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.

4 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Organize supplied business assumptions and source-linked research into a preliminary plan for founder review.

  1. Set a narrow question and permitted sources

    Define scope and dates, and respect access, collection, and reuse conditions.

  2. Check claims against original evidence

    Open primary references and preserve links, retrieval dates, and context.

  3. Show gaps and uncertainty

    Separate observations from estimates and flag incomplete or conflicting evidence.

  4. Approve findings before circulation

    Have a responsible researcher verify evidence, interpretation, and intended use.

Something to build on.
