Research method

Evidence, then inference

The workbench does not browse or validate source content. Use short paraphrases and record when you checked them.

What do you actually know?

Observation

Observation means what a source says.

Inference

Inference means your interpretation.

Unknown

Unknown means a question, not a hidden estimate.

A hypothesis is not demand

These are hypotheses, not proven demand. Market research data, traffic estimates and competitor performance are not supplied.

Independent and manual

Inspiration: the public Firecrawl Alexandria marketing page describes assistant driven competitor research. Signal Ledger is independent, manual and does not use Firecrawl or copied media.
