What it does

A research prompt system for turning a design question into targeted precedent queries, a comparable evidence matrix, and a citation-ready brief. It rewards relevant method and performance evidence rather than surface similarity.

A question-led precedent matrix with comparable evidence, citations, transfer notes, and research gaps.

Designed for

  • Early design research
  • Client precedent review
  • Competition research
  • Practice knowledge capture

FAQ + support + changelog

Does it browse for precedents automatically?

It can structure candidate discovery, but the buyer must open and verify every source before relying on it.

How does it prevent superficial copying?

The matrix requires a transfer note distinguishing observed evidence from project-specific inference.
