The Verified Research Loop

Decision-ready research memos, not chat walls

Fluent is not the same as researched.

AI returns summaries that feel researched but hide their sources. The Verified Research Loop is a discipline for operators: a five-step protocol that turns raw collection into verified, tiered claims and a decision-ready memo — so you can size a market or vet a deal before you bet on it.

  • The TRACE protocol: Target, Retrieve, Assess, Cross-check, Export
  • Turn AI collection into verified claims with source tiers
  • Decision-ready memos, not chat walls
