Research Methodology
Structured approach to finding, vetting, and synthesizing information from diverse sources. Turns research questions into trustworthy, actionable findings through systematic query design, source evaluation, and cross-referencing.
When to Use This Skill
- Conducting competitive analysis or market scans
- Investigating historical events, trends, or technical evolution
- Fact-checking claims across multiple sources
- Synthesizing research into structured deliverables (reports, tables, timelines)
- Any research task that requires more than a single search query
