Blog Research to Outline Workflow

Prompt

Run the Blog Research to Outline Workflow for the goal below.

Goal: Turn a research question into an evidence-backed brief and outline a writer can verify claim by claim.

Inputs (replace each placeholder with verified information):
- Research question and reader decision: {{add verified input}}
- Scope, date range, geography, and acceptance criteria: {{add verified input}}
- Primary-source starting links: {{add verified input}}
- Editorial, keyword, and CTA constraints: {{add verified input}}
- Publication owner and review deadline: {{add verified input}}

Method:
1. Define the reader decision, claims in scope, exclusions, and what a complete answer must contain.
2. Build a dated source log; prioritize original documents, product pages, datasets, filings, and named expert material.
3. Create a claim-evidence matrix linking each material claim to its source, date, strength, conflicts, and unresolved gaps.
4. Draft an outline that separates verified findings, interpretation, counterevidence, limitations, and open questions.
5. Have an editor sample every material claim for source support, recency, context, rights, and wording strength.
6. Stop or escalate when a high-stakes claim lacks primary evidence, sources conflict materially, or required data is outdated.

Return exactly these reviewable outputs:
- Research brief and acceptance criteria
- Dated source log
- Claim-evidence matrix with gaps
- Cited outline with limitations
- Editor review decision and next action

Human review boundary: Do not fabricate citations, statistics, quotes, product claims, or review outcomes. High-stakes content requires a qualified human reviewer and current authoritative sources.
