"I'm researching [SPECIFIC TOPIC] to [DECISION/OUTCOME I need to make].

TARGETING (Define the aim): - What's the most focused version of this question? - What 3-5 signals would actually shift my thinking? - What should I exclude to avoid generic coverage?

EXECUTION (Controlled search): Research this focused question, but constrain your response: - Provide 3 weighted insights, not 10 surface observations - For each insight, state what this enables me to do differently - Flag where confidence is low and why it matters

VALIDATION (Test substance): End by asking me: "What would make this research actionable for your specific context?"
