Research is a process, not a prompt.

Good AI research looks like good human research: a sharp question, real sources, careful weighing and honest gaps.

01

Frame it

A specific question, a region and a time frame.

02

Use sources

Switch on web search or research tools. No sources, no research.

03

Weigh them

Who says it, how recent, and where do they disagree?

04

Mark the gaps

Ask it to say what it couldn't find or verify.

Question, sources, weighing. Then the write-up.
