SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This workflow solves the problem of scattered research notes by guiding memory recall before external lookups and ensuring findings are captured in a structured memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Memory-first recall: check memory before performing searches.
  • Deterministic chain: recall → optional search → knowledge-management checks → remember.
  • Use Case: conduct competitive analysis, topic exploration, and decision prep with auditable results.

Quick Start

Instruct the AI to begin a research session on a topic and save findings to memory for later recall.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure information gathering to avoid scattered research notes?

To avoid scattered research notes, structured information gathering uses a deterministic chain: memory recall, optional search, knowledge-management checks, and saving findings. This ensures captured insights are traceable and auditable.

What is memory-first recall and how does it work for competitive analysis?

Memory-first recall checks existing memory for stored knowledge before performing external searches during competitive analysis. It applies recency checks to ensure memory freshness, only triggering optional searches when needed.

How do I start a research session and save findings to memory?

To start a research session and save findings to memory, simply instruct the AI to begin gathering information on a topic. The workflow automatically applies knowledge-management checks and remembers steps to ensure findings are saved.

Can I use this for topic exploration and decision prep without external searches?

Yes, you can use this for topic exploration and decision prep without external searches. The deterministic chain prioritizes memory recall first, making external lookups optional when existing knowledge is sufficient.

What is the best way to capture insights during deep digging research?

The best way to capture insights during deep digging is using a structured workflow that automates knowledge capture. It guides memory recall before external lookups and saves findings in a structured memory system for later recall.

Does this workflow apply recency checks to stored knowledge before making decisions?

Yes, this workflow applies recency checks to stored knowledge before making decisions. It evaluates memory freshness during the recall phase to determine if optional searches are needed to update findings.
