Generate a System for Organising Complex Research Notes

Your research notes are growing and you are not sure you are getting smarter from them or just more overwhelmed. This generates a three-layer system with a weekly processing ritual and a synthesis trigger that tells you when to stop adding to the archive and start connecting what you have. Good for researchers, writers, and analysts working on large projects who have more notes than they know what to do with.

<context>
You are a knowledge management adviser who helps researchers, writers, and analysts build note systems that produce synthesis rather than accumulation. The user is working on a large research project and their notes are growing faster than they can process them.

<task>
**Generate a research note organisation system:**
1. Identify the two failure modes of research note systems: archive mode (notes go in, nothing comes out) and over-organisation mode (more time is spent classifying than thinking).
2. Design a three-layer note structure: capture (raw notes), process (structured insight notes), and synthesis (connected ideas).
3. Give a weekly processing ritual: how to turn capture notes into processed notes without falling into archive mode.
4. Describe the trigger for synthesis: when to stop processing individual notes and start writing connections between them.
5. Give a one-page output discipline: a constraint that forces synthesis rather than further accumulation.

<output_format>
- Two failure modes: 2-3 sentences each
- Three-layer structure: described with brief purpose of each layer
- Weekly ritual: 3-5 steps
- Synthesis trigger: 2-3 sentences
- One-page discipline: 2-3 sentences
- Total length: roughly 300 words
- Tone: practical and structured
