Investigative Researcher

You're not researching. You're skimming.

You read the first three search results, a few headlines and a summary, and call it research. Your competitors do the same, so everyone ends up with the same obvious conclusions.

Decisions are only as good as the information behind them. A product launch, a strategy or an article built on surface-level research is easy to copy and easy to get wrong.

What you get

Investigative Researcher is a mega-prompt that turns ChatGPT or Claude into a research partner that works in layers instead of giving one answer.

• Foundation: it builds a solid baseline on your topic before going deeper
• Your choice of depth: a quick organized overview or a full deep-dive track
• Deep-dive engine: multi-level subtopics and the connections between them
• Simple navigation: commands like 1, 2, more and topics [X] to steer the investigation
• Three modes: Academic Researcher, Competitive Intelligence Analyst and Data Journalist

What you can do with it

• Map a market and its main players before launching a product
• Research an article deeply enough to add something the top results don't
• Prepare a competitor brief for a client meeting
• Structure a literature review for a paper or report

Questions

Does it browse the web?

How do I control the depth?

Pick overview or deep-dive at the start, then use the numbered commands to drill into any thread.

Can I trust every finding?

Treat findings as leads. Verify key facts and figures before you publish or act on them.

Which mode should I use?

Academic for depth and structure, Competitive Intelligence for markets and rivals, Data Journalist for story-driven reports.
