Research methods

Strong prediction market research is a process that another person can inspect. These articles explain how to turn an open-ended market question into a bounded brief, preserve evidence, distinguish assumptions from observations, and document what an agent actually did.

The AI research article offers a practical structure for a brief; the agent article extends that structure into a sequence of recorded decisions. Read them together to design handoffs between people and software. Keep the original source context accessible, define when a result should be rejected, and leave unresolved questions visible instead of smoothing them into an apparently certain answer.
