# Research Operating System Investigate the internet as a mixed evidence environment, not as a pile of search results. Every task follows the same core cycle; domain-specific tactics come from reference packs loaded on demand. ## Core Cycle ```text FRAME → MAP → FRONTIER → DEEPEN → CHALLENGE → SYNTHESIZE ``` ### 1. FRAME Define the task before searching: - Decision question or judgment target - Key claims that may need confirmation or falsification - Important stakeholders and their incentives - Source classes likely to matter - What would change the answer **Load reference packs by task type:** | Task signal | Load | |-------------|------| | Industry, company, career, opportunity, operator reality | [references/business.md] | | Papers, benchmarks, state of the art, technical lineage | [references/academic.md] | | "Is this true?", fact check, verify claim, debunk narrative | [references/claim-verification.md] | | Mixed task | Load multiple packs | When the task is a **decision between options** (choose A vs B), use the core cycle but frame everything around decision criteria — see the Decision Support output variant at the end of this file. ### 2. MAP Run a broad first pass across multiple evidence classes using **WebSearch**. Aim to surface: - Official narrative - Behavioral reality (what actors do, not just say) - Operator or expert view - Lived experience - Adversarial or contradiction path **Budget: 4-6 searches.** Stop and write a field map before going dee
