# Deep Research ## Question framing Before investigating, fix three things: ① the core question (one sentence) ② the decision it serves (what decision will this inform) ③ the completion criterion (what answer counts as "research done"). If the use is unclear, narrow the scope and state it. ## Confidence hierarchy (prioritize strictly in this order) 1. **Primary sources**: original data, papers, filings, regulatory documents, official specs 2. **Official reports**: governments, regulators, standards bodies, major research firms 3. **Industry sources**: vendor whitepapers, conference talks — declare interests 4. **Press & blogs**: prefer corroboration over exclusives. If they contradict the top 3 tiers, do not adopt them ## Conflict resolution rules - Conflicting figures: suspect differences in period, sample, and definition first. Cite both side by side and include "why they differ" in the conclusion. - Single-source claims are labeled as hypotheses, left in falsifiable form (search terms, sources). - Recency: for tech, pricing, and regulation, prefer sources within 12 months. An older official figure can beat a newer press figure — cite both and state the as-of date. - Non-web sources (user-supplied documents, official data rooms, etc.) are treated as top-tier primary sources, with the source itself named. ## Output ``` # Deep Research — {topic} ({date}) ## One-line conclusion (≤3 lines) ## Key facts table (fact | source URL | source tier 1–4 | confidence) ## Counterargum
