Frequently asked questions

What counts as a reliable source?

We prioritize primary, official and directly attributable sources, then label any necessary secondary evidence.

Can I provide my own documents?

Yes. Attach up to three PDF or text references in the requirements step.

What happens when sources disagree?

The brief preserves the conflict and explains which conclusion is better supported instead of silently choosing one.

How should I define a useful research question?

Name the decision, audience, geography and time period. A question such as which segment to investigate first is more actionable than a broad request to research an industry. Ask for unknowns and contradictory sources to remain visible rather than forcing a confident conclusion.

What do I need to supply before work can start?

Required inputs: Research question; Market or geography; Who is this for?. Use the request form for those inputs. Never include passwords, API keys or access tokens; account access, when needed, must be authorized through a secure connection.
