Research
Research with
a trail you can follow.
Ask your research chief a focused question. It can use search and browser tools during computer-enabled work, examine accessible material and prepare a comparison with source links and visible gaps.
Make the question answerable.
Specify the market, competitors or decision you want to examine. A request to compare three pricing pages is more concrete than asking for everything about an industry. Set the scope and ask the chief to distinguish facts reported by a source from its own interpretation. Research uses the available computer time and compute allowance.
Check the evidence behind the conclusion.
Ask for primary sources where available, such as official product pages or company documentation. A report should link to the pages supporting its claims and say when a page was inaccessible. A search snippet or page title is not a substitute for reading the relevant material. Some content may require you to sign in or provide an asset.
Save a brief that helps the next decision.
Request a table of findings, a short explanation of the important differences and the unanswered questions. During computer work the chief can save that report as a file. Bring the relevant findings into a board meeting or follow-up task rather than treating a long report as an automatic business decision.
What to bring to your chief
- The question, competitors or market to examine
- Known source URLs and the scope of the comparison
- The output format and what decision the research should support

Common questions
Can it read every website?
No. Sites can require accounts, block automation or return inaccessible content. The chief should report those gaps.
Does a written preview perform live research?
The pre-payment preview uses supplied facts and can prepare a research plan. Live browser research requires the computer trial or paid access.
