ITS AI MATHIAS — RESEARCH PROMPT PACK
Version 1 · 19 October 2026
Replace [brackets] with your own context. These prompts are starting points, not a guarantee of correctness.

1. BUILD A SOURCE MAP
Research [question] for [audience and decision]. Start with current primary sources. For each important claim, record its URL, date, what it supports and what it does not establish. Separate official statements, third-party observations and our own tests. Identify missing evidence before drafting a conclusion.

2. COMPARE TWO APPROACHES
Compare [approach A] and [approach B] for [specific job] under [constraints]. Define the comparison criteria first. Use dated sources for changing capabilities and prices. Show assumptions and unknowns in the same table as the comparison. Do not invent a measured winner.

3. CHALLENGE A CLAIM
Evaluate this claim: [claim]. Find the original source, check whether the quoted result matches it, and identify the denominator, sample, timeframe and conditions. Explain which conclusions the evidence supports and which would need another test.

4. PREPARE A DECISION BRIEF
Using [verified sources and files], prepare a brief with the decision, options, evidence, limitations and one next action. Keep illustrative examples separate from observed results. Cite the original source near each material factual claim. End with the questions that could change the recommendation.

Copy and adapt these prompts for your own work. Do not resell the collection unchanged or remove attribution when redistributing the original.
