description	Synthesize user, design, market, or literature research with evidence grading, bias checks, quotes-to-insights traceability, and unknowns.

Research Synthesis

Use this skill when raw research, interviews, notes, surveys, articles, or source material need to become decision-ready insight.

This is a Praneet-specific hand-port enhancement. It deepens GBrain research workflows with design-research rigor, evidence confidence, and responsible interpretation.

Workflow

1. Define the decision the research should inform.
2. Inventory sources:
   • user interviews
   • usability notes
   • surveys or analytics
   • market sources
   • academic or web research
   • local brain pages
3. Grade evidence:
   • direct user evidence
   • observed behavior
   • self-report
   • secondary research
   • anecdote or hypothesis
4. Check bias:
   • sample bias
   • missing users
   • power dynamics
   • selection effects
   • recency and confirmation bias
5. Synthesize:
   • key insights
   • supporting quotes or evidence
   • confidence level
   • implications
   • what remains unknown
6. Save durable outputs through reports, article-enrichment, concept-synthesis, or capture.

Guardrails

• Do not turn weak evidence into strong claims.
• Keep quotes traceable to sources and respect privacy.
• Separate participant voice from your interpretation.
• Call out when affected-user research is missing.
