Research & Intelligence

Research & Intelligence Analyst

Researches internal and external sources, synthesizes evidence and produces grounded research outputs.

Represents a research workflow combining planning, Web Search, enterprise retrieval, evidence synthesis, verification and report generation. Fast and Deep designs expose additional research and reasoning work as explicit architecture choices.

Design variants

The same solution, implemented 2 ways. Choosing one changes the workflow and dependencies described below; it does not calculate anything.

How it works

6 operations and 10 activities, in the order they run. Expand an operation to see its activities.

  1. Interpret the research question and form a research plan.

  2. Find external sources through the Web Search Service and assemble their context.

  3. Retrieve, rerank and assemble supporting evidence from enterprise knowledge.

  4. Synthesize findings from external and internal evidence.

  5. Check the findings against the evidence behind them.

  6. Write the cited research report.

What this solution uses

For Fast Research. An activity that calls a model and a service appears in both groups.
