What it means
A research brief tells the tool, and any human researcher, what to answer and what to leave out.

A good brief also says which sources count, such as filings, government data or peer-reviewed papers.
Briefs improve results because they narrow the search. Include what you already know, so the tool does not repeat it. Name any definitions that matter, such as what counts as a competitor. Ask for the output format you need, such as a table of figures with sources, and state the date the answer should reflect. Finally, say who the answer is for, since a board memo and a newsroom check need different levels of detail.
