Loop design
Research gets faster when you define a clear loop: question first, source gathering second, comparison third, synthesis last. AI helps most when the sequence is deliberate rather than improvised.
Source comparison
The point is not to collect the most information. It is to collect the right information across multiple source types so patterns and contradictions become visible sooner.
Practical use
Fast research loops are useful because they compress exploratory work into a consistent operating rhythm that can support decisions without drowning you in notes.
