PROCESS

Loop Mechanics

1. User poses a question or hypothesis — what do we need to learn?
2. Research — via web search, /lit-review (for academic topics), or a spike (for technical questions)
3. Synthesize — record findings in the research log
4. User decides — loop again with a new question, or proceed to the essay

Repeat until the user says the problem space is sufficiently understood.
