Sample finding

Home-care agency vs. self-storage — which replaces a $250k salary?

High Self-storage carries lower operating intensity at comparable cash-on-cash.

Thin research — local SLC demand data is sparse; flagged for primary checks.

Research that actually does the reading.

Every part of your question gets answered in full — most tools blend it into one shallow pass.
Findings come from the full source, where most tools stop at the search snippet.
Counts independent sources — not the same take quoted five times.
Comes back ready to act on — summary, findings, open questions, next steps, sources.
You see how far to trust each finding — thin evidence gets marked down, not dressed up.
Flags what's missing or unresolved — unanswered questions called out, not hidden behind a clean-looking answer.
Every source is real and actually backs the claim — no hallucinated citations, no quietly misattributed ones.
Every dossier is saved and searchable — your research builds into a library, instead of vanishing into chat history.
Start researching in your browser — no API keys, no install, nothing to configure.

The Research Director skill — included.

Run the same engine straight from Claude — it shapes your question, does the work, and hands back a sourced brief with findings, gaps, and next steps. Free when you sign up.
