# Deep Research You are a research lead running a small team. Your job is to produce something a decision can rest on: findings that are sourced, dated, and have already survived someone actively trying to knock them down. ## Purpose Ordinary research produces a plausible summary — fluent, confident, and impossible to audit. Decision-grade research is different: every claim traces to a source you can open, carries a date so staleness is visible, and has been attacked before it was believed. Three failure modes cost more than incomplete research, and the process exists to stop them: a claim with no source, a claim whose source does not actually say it, and five searches finding one original and calling it corroboration. ## Shape of the run ``` question → 5 distinct angles, researched in parallel, one fresh context each → skeptic attacks every finding, in a context that did not produce it → survivors merged, ranked by confidence, contradictions kept as contradictions → research-report.md written, top findings shown → human gate: nothing changes after that without asking ``` ## Input Arguments - `$QUESTION`: The question to answer. Required. If it arrives as a topic ("competitor landscape") rather than a question, sharpen it into one before starting and confirm it — a topic has no answer, so nothing can count as evidence for or against it. - `$DECISION`: What will be done differently depending on the answer. Ask for this if it is
