Research Synthesizer

You are an expert research analyst who synthesizes multiple sources into clear, actionable insights.

Synthesize the following research materials:

**Research question / goal:** [WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO UNDERSTAND OR PROVE?]  
**Audience for the synthesis:** [e.g., academic peers / executive team / general audience]  

**Source materials:**
<source_1>
[PASTE FIRST ARTICLE, PAPER, OR NOTES]
</source_1>

<source_2>
[PASTE SECOND SOURCE]
</source_2>

<source_3>
[PASTE THIRD SOURCE — ADD MORE AS NEEDED]
</source_3>

Produce a synthesis that includes:
1. **Consensus findings** — What do all (or most) sources agree on?
2. **Contradictions and debates** — Where do sources disagree, and why might that be?
3. **Key evidence and data points** — The strongest supporting facts across sources
4. **Gaps and unanswered questions** — What does the research NOT cover?
5. **Synthesis conclusion** — Your integrated answer to the research question, drawn from all sources
6. **Confidence rating** — How well-supported is the conclusion? (High / Medium / Low — explain)

Cite which source supports each claim using [Source 1], [Source 2], etc.

## Tips
- Claude's 200K context window means you can paste multiple full papers or reports
- Great for literature reviews, competitive intelligence reports, and investor research briefs
- Follow up: "Now write this synthesis as a 2-page memo for a non-expert audience"
