Investigation

Turn Ideas into Research Questions

Converts a broad, pasted research {idea} into five specific, testable research questions, each one paired with a hypothesis tied to 2026 trends. Useful early in a project when a topic feels too broad or vague to study directly and needs to be narrowed into something with a clear variable and testable prediction. The generated hypotheses should be treated as starting drafts, refined once you've confirmed what's actually testable given the data you have access to.

Investigation

Research question map

Turns a broad, pasted research topic into a structured question map that separates core questions from background questions, lists assumptions that still need validating, names the likely source types to consult, and lays out a practical research sequence to follow. Flags which claims will require primary sources rather than secondary summaries. Best used at the very start of an open-ended research project, before committing time to any one direction, to scope an unfamiliar subject with a clear path instead of unfocused reading.
