Write one primary research question and no more than five subquestions. Make the primary question falsifiable or decision-separating. Define the minimum evidence that would support, weaken, or reverse the current belief. Identify the population, time horizon, geography, and comparison that matter.
Return a research plan with source priorities, disconfirming evidence to seek, known blind spots, and a stopping rule. Include a one-paragraph version suitable for assigning to a researcher or agent. Reject questions that only produce a landscape summary when the real need is a decision.
