A real AI use, explained simply

Build a first market brief using only sources you allow

Create a scoped first market brief whose evidence stays inside an approved source list.

Start here

Write one question containing a product, region, and time period.

Done when: Allowed and excluded sources are recorded, major citations are opened, and facts, estimates, and unknowns are separate.

Before you start

  • A scoped market question
  • Allowed sites or files and exclusions

What the original documents

OpenAI documents selecting websites, files, and connected apps for a documented deep-research report; STORM and GPT Researcher publish cited research-draft workflows.

Claim boundary: The sources support report-drafting workflows, not market completeness, forecast accuracy, or business conclusions.

This page explains a source-documented method. It is not an independent Studio Nani reproduction or performance guarantee.

Follow the workflow and check each result

  1. List allowed sites and files plus excluded sources.Output: A source boundaryCheckpoint: Confirm access and dates.
  2. State the question, period, and comparison criteria; review the plan before running.Output: A research planCheckpoint: Remove questions the sources cannot answer.
  3. Generate the first brief with claims and citations.Output: A cited market brief draftCheckpoint: Separate evidence, counterevidence, and unknowns.
  4. Open major citations and create a human next-research list.Output: Reviewed first briefCheckpoint: Treat every conclusion as preliminary.

Human completion checks

  • Every major citation
  • Publication dates and source interests
  • Facts versus estimates

Limitations

  • Access and limits vary by plan and region.
  • A cited report remains a first draft.

Use this when

Allowed and excluded sources are recorded, major citations are opened, and facts, estimates, and unknowns are separate.

Copy this and change the brackets

Research [product] in [region] for [period]. Use only [approved sites/files]. Separate market signals / evidence / counterevidence / unknowns.
How to make it work for you

Source-documented method

The sources support report-drafting workflows, not market completeness, forecast accuracy, or business conclusions.

Keep in mind

Access and limits vary by plan and region. A cited report remains a first draft.
