The workflow

Frame the question

Define what you need to learn and why. Narrow broad questions before asking for an answer.

Provide the evidence

Supply source text where possible. A URL alone does not mean your model can read it.

Ask for a traceable brief

Require every material claim to point to its supporting source. Keep interpretations labelled.

Check before sharing

Open the original sources, verify important claims, and preserve unresolved questions.

IN PRACTICE / ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Illustrative input: compare two internal approaches to onboarding, using three interview notes and the existing playbook. The brief should show where the evidence agrees, where it differs, and what still needs to be tested.
