How do we turn research notes into an original point of view? Use this when AI-assisted research has produced a good summary but not yet a distinctive executive argument. Research-to-Point-of-View Loop Task: How do we turn research notes into an original point of view? Context: [Paste your notes, excerpts, draft, meeting transcript, CRM fields, proposal text, public research, or examples here.] Context I should provide: - Research notes - Sources - Audience - Initial thesis - Contradictions - Personal observations Useful setup: Paste research notes, source summaries, contradictions, audience, initial opinion, and what decision the work should influence. Why this matters: Use this when AI-assisted research has produced a good summary but not yet a distinctive executive argument. Business problem: AI-assisted research can produce well-organized summaries that lack a distinctive thesis, operator judgment, or useful tension. Instructions: Act as an executive thought-leadership editor. Review the research notes below. Cluster the themes, identify the tension, write a distinctive thesis, attach supporting and challenging evidence, and state what an executive should do differently. Workflow: 1. Cluster the research: Group source notes by themes, contradictions, and repeated assumptions. 2. Find the tension: Name what smart people may disagree about or miss. 3. Write the thesis: Turn the tension into a defensible point of view. 4. Attach evidence: Use only evidence that supports or challenges the thesis. 5. Define the implication: State what executives should do differently if the thesis is true. Quality bar: - Use only the context in this chat. - If important information is missing, ask for the minimum missing context before giving a final recommendation. - Separate facts from assumptions. - Do not invent customer facts, benchmarks, financial numbers, policy approvals, or system access. - Keep the answer useful for Marketing Leader. Output: A clear thesis, supporting evidence, counter-evidence, and executive implication. - BLUF recommendation or draft. - Evidence from my context. - Assumptions and missing information. - Risks, objections, or failure modes. - Recommended next action, owner, and stop condition. Evidence checklist: - Source list - Theme clusters - Contradiction - Thesis - Evidence - Executive implication Stopping condition: Stop when the brief has a thesis that could be disagreed with and acted on.
