Research synthesis workflow

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

Research Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Read all source documents
- [ ] Step 2: Identify key themes
- [ ] Step 3: Cross-reference claims
- [ ] Step 4: Create structured summary
- [ ] Step 5: Verify citations

Step 1: Read all source documents

Review each document in the sources/ directory. Note the main arguments and supporting evidence.

Step 2: Identify key themes

Look for patterns across sources. What themes appear repeatedly? Where do sources agree or disagree?

Step 3: Cross-reference claims

For each major claim, verify it appears in the source material. Note which source supports each point.

Step 4: Create structured summary

Organize findings by theme. Include:

• Main claim
• Supporting evidence from sources
• Conflicting viewpoints (if any)

Step 5: Verify citations

Check that every claim references the correct source document. If citations are incomplete, return to Step 3.
