SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enterprise research questions span clinical study design, R&D budgeting, market sizing, and user research, and picking the wrong methodology wastes time and produces unreliable outputs. This orchestrator analyzes your inquiry, routes it to the correct Research Operations sub-skill in a forked context, and returns a concise digest with cited methodology and next actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic routing: A keyword signal table maps inquiries to one of four sub-skills (clinical-research, research-finance, market-research, product-research), with clarifying questions when signals are ambiguous.
  • Grill-with-docs discipline: Asks one forcing question per turn with a recommended answer anchored to canon such as ICH E9, IAS 38, Cochran, or Nielsen before running any analysis.
  • Structured artifacts: Each sub-skill produces defined outputs like protocol_synopsis.md, sample_size.json, market_sizing.md, or insight_synthesis.json.
  • Use Case: Ask "what sample size do I need for a two-arm Phase 2 trial" and get routed to clinical-research, which returns a power calculation digest with a challenge on your assumed effect size.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to design a clinical study, size a market, plan an R&D budget, or structure user interviews, and it will route your request to the right research sub-skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-ops-skills

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate sample size for a clinical trial?

Describe your study design, endpoint, and expected effect size, and the orchestrator routes you to the clinical-research sub-skill. It produces a sample_size.json artifact with a power calculation anchored to ICH E9 guidance, plus a challenge on any unjustified assumptions.

How do I estimate TAM SAM SOM for market sizing?

State your market question and the router sends it to the market-research sub-skill, which requires both top-down and bottoms-up calculations. The output is a market_sizing.md artifact showing the method, triangulation of both approaches, and stated assumptions.

What is the difference between research-ops-skills and the academic research domain?

The academic research domain finds literature, grants, and patents, while research-ops-skills plans, funds, scopes, and synthesizes research as an operational discipline. Use research-ops for study design, R&D budgets, market sizing, and user research synthesis.

Should R&D spending be capitalized or expensed?

The research-finance sub-skill evaluates whether spend is in the research phase (expense) or development phase (capitalize-candidate with feasibility evidence) per IAS 38 and ASC 730. It never auto-decides; the routing recommendation goes to a named finance owner.

When should I not use this research orchestrator?

Do not use it for regulatory submissions (use ra-qm-team), corporate close or valuation (use finance), grant discovery (use research/grants), or campaign analytics (use marketing-skill). It also does not replace an EDC, accounting system, or survey platform.
