RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Prepare a founder’s stated business idea, cited market research, and proposed operating and financial assumptions with clear sources, limits, and a human sign-off.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a structured planning draft for a founder and qualified advisers to challenge. A one-line idea cannot substantiate market size, costs, revenue, or legal requirements, and a polished plan is not a promise of success. Protect confidential plans, verify sources and calculations, label assumptions and uncertainty, clear any reused material, and require the founder and relevant advisers to approve commitments or external claims. 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.

Keep in mind

A one-line idea cannot substantiate market size, costs, revenue, or legal requirements, and a polished plan is not a promise of success. Protect confidential plans, verify sources and calculations, label assumptions and uncertainty, clear any reused material, and require the founder and relevant advisers to approve commitments or external claims.

Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Protect people and source material

Limit identifiers and honor participant, source, and rights-holder requirements.

Require human review of conclusions
