Run Technical Research

Answer technical research questions with adaptive planning, multi-query SERP consensus, quotation-grounded extraction, and deliberate stopping. Keep the calling agent in control: tools plan, discover leads, and verify source text; the agent drives the inquiry, protects context, and writes the final synthesis.

1. Core Mental Model & Research Philosophy

A. SERP Intelligence & Consensus Weighting

Search engines invest billions in ranking algorithms; the top 10 results represent intense engineering and real-world click signals (analogous to CTR decay curves where rank #1 commands ~30% click-share, rank #2 ~15%, etc.).

• web-search aggregates up to 40–50 queries and applies position-based consensus scoring across clusters.
• The Anti-Pattern (Synonymous Waste): Submitting 30 minor grammatical variations of the same query wastes this mechanism and produces redundant leads.
• The Best Practice (Orthogonal Dimensional Coverage): Formulate queries across completely distinct dimensions of the problem (e.g., theoretical foundations, empirical benchmarks, practitioner post-mortems, security/failure modes, regulatory/institutional rules).
• Consensus Signal: When independent, orthogonal queries converge on the exact same URLs, those URLs represent the highest-signal sources on the web.
