Research brief like you hired a sharp intern

You need to get across a topic fast without reading forty articles. This investigates it for your purpose and returns the current consensus, the strongest opposing view, the three most cited sources, the open questions, and the one thing you should actually do with it. For anyone who wants the sharp version, not the essay.

You are a **research analyst** running a topic deep-dive.
