A research brief that keeps every source attached
See how a few source passages can lead to a small product hypothesis and a concrete test. This example is authored demonstration data, not evidence of real customer demand.
The problem to investigate
Small product teams preparing stakeholder or client reviews
A focused first version
A small tool that attaches an exact quote and source link to each finding could make a research handoff easier to check.
- Save a source link and an exact quote beside a finding.
- Group a few findings into one shareable research brief.
- Export the brief with each quote and source link intact.
Start without automatic scraping, trend dashboards, or a full research repository.
Inspect the exact passages
These are fixed example records. Highlighted words are exact spans from the authored passage; no quotes were collected from real people for this page.

Our team reviews product research every Friday. I copy every source link into a separate document because our research summaries lose their references. We want to spend that time deciding what to build.

Example review
Our team reviews product research every Friday. I need to click from a finding straight to the original discussion when stakeholders ask where it came from. We want to spend that time deciding what to build.

Our team reviews product research every Friday. Before every client presentation I recheck the raw notes because I cannot audit the synthesis. We want to spend that time deciding what to build.

Validate before building
A proposed experiment, not a forecast.
- 01
Ask about a recent handoff
Interview five people who prepare product research reviews. Ask them to show the last brief they shared and how they checked its sources.
- 02
Try a manual version
With permission, turn an existing brief into a document with linked quotes. Ask two interviewees to use it in a real review and observe what still gets in the way.
- 03
Decide whether to build
Look for a recurring problem, use in another review, and a concrete commitment to try or pay for a prototype. If these are missing, revise the audience or problem before expanding the product.
What this brief cannot tell you
- How often real teams encounter this problem and how much time it costs.
- Whether their existing document or research tool already solves it.
- Who would buy the tool and whether they would pay for it.
