Flag any insight resting on fewer as low-confidence. ## Output Structure ### Research Synthesis: [Study Name] **Participants:** [n] **Date Range:** [dates] **Research Questions:** [list] #### Theme 1: [Theme Name] - Summary (2-3 sentences) - Supporting quotes (from at least 3 participants) - Implication for product [Repeat for each theme] #### Low-Confidence Signals (1-2 participants only) [Findings worth tracking but not acting on yet — note what further research would confirm or deny] #### Recommended Next Steps [Specific, actiona...
