Deep Research Guide

Covers scoping (and narrowing) the question, fanning out across sources, judging source quality, adversarially verifying each key claim, separating fact from inference, and reporting with explicit confidence.

Keywords: deep research, multi-source, fact-check, verify, synthesize, cited report, source credibility, due diligence.

Produce a trustworthy synthesized answer, not a pile of links. The output of research is a decision-grade brief: a clear claim, the evidence behind it, citations, and an honest map of what is still unknown. Speed without verification is a liability — a confident wrong answer costs more than a slow right one.

Core principle: default to skeptical. Treat every key claim as guilty until corroborated. Your job is not to confirm a hypothesis — it's to find what would break it.
