Use casesResearch planning

Turn one research question into a reusable research Map.

Research work becomes fragile when sources, claims, and uncertainty live in the same thread. BaseHalf gives each part a visible Point so you can keep the evidence trail clear while the work changes.

PromptCreates 3 Points

Turn this research question into sources, claims, open questions, and a synthesis plan I can keep editing.

  • Central question
  • Source Points
  • Claim Points
Workflow

From one request to reusable context

01

Start with the question

Create a central question Point with scope, exclusions, and the decision the research should inform.

02

Separate sources from claims

Keep source notes stable while claims remain editable. Reference the source Points that support each claim.

03

Make uncertainty visible

Give unresolved assumptions and contradictions their own Points so the next research pass has direction.

04

Synthesize from connected context

Write the synthesis from selected claims, sources, and questions instead of rebuilding the context in a prompt.

Complex scenario

Example: choosing a product direction from scattered evidence

A team needs to decide whether to build a collaboration feature. The material includes interview notes, competitor examples, support tickets, and unclear internal assumptions.

01

Import sources separately

Create source Points for each interview, support cluster, competitor note, and internal memo.

02

Extract claims carefully

Create one claim per reusable idea, then reference the sources that support or weaken it.

03

Preserve unresolved questions

Keep open questions visible: who needs collaboration, where work breaks today, and what evidence is missing.

04

Write a decision-ready synthesis

Ask BaseHalf to draft from selected claims and sources, then keep the synthesis as a Point that can be reviewed.

Map structure

What the workspace should contain

Central question

The research decision, scope, and exclusions.

Source Points

Interview notes, articles, files, examples, and data extracts.

Claim Points

Reusable statements that can later become a brief, memo, or report.

Open questions

Missing evidence, contradictions, definitions, and assumptions to test.

Outcomes

What should exist after the work

  • A Map that shows what is known, what is assumed, and what still needs evidence.
  • Claim Points that can be reused in reports, briefs, or follow-up questions.
  • Source-backed synthesis without losing the path from evidence to conclusion.
