AI can organise documents and prepare questions, but a summary does not replace source material. Keep the passages supporting each claim and separate what the documents say from deductions. For learning, alternate explanations, exercises and checks. For research, first define the question you need to answer.
What you will solve
A research matrix with verifiable sources
Practical workflow
- Prepare a real project example and a working copy. Specify the audience, format, limits and person responsible for reviewing the result.
- Define a question about a segment and organise documents into a table of claims, sources, passages and dates. Ask AI to identify gaps and contradictions.
- Review the draft against the original material. Correct it and save an identifiable version before sharing.
AI working prompt
Work with this material: [example]. Task: [task defined in the workflow]. Separate suggestions from verified facts. Flag missing information and return an editable draft, explaining the changes.
How to check the result
Open each source before accepting a claim. Separate segment data, individual examples and hypotheses; do not extrapolate one interview to an entire market. Record preparation time and necessary corrections. Compare with the previous process before rolling it out to the whole team.
