Research & Analysis Cheat Sheet
Prompt patterns for grounded research, summaries, and decision analysis.
Grounded Research
- "Answer only from the provided sources; cite inline; say if information is missing."
- "Flag confidence level: high / medium / low for each finding."
- "List what we still do not know."
Deep Research
- Break the question into 4-6 sub-questions and investigate each.
- Demand source credibility notes and disagreement flags.
Decisions
- "Score each option 1-10 on impact, effort, risk, and fit; show a table."
- "Play devil's advocate on your recommendation."
- Always include the "do nothing" option.
