Turn a vague research question into a research plan — the decision the research serves, the precise question and sub-questions, what finding would change the decision, a method per sub-question (desk research, interviews, data pull, experiment), source types with inclusion and exclusion criteria, ready-to-run search strings, a stopping rule for when you have enough, and the deliverable. Starts by asking what decision the research is for. Use when the user says "I need to research X", "help me scope this research", "how should I investigate…", "what should I look into before deciding…", or wants a research or discovery plan.
