Research Ideation

This handles the messy front end of research projects: turning a vague idea into a traceable research question with hypothesis, evidence needs, and falsification criteria. It walks you through 5W1H brainstorming, literature review with WebSearch and automatic Zotero imports (DOIs go straight into collections with PDFs attached), gap analysis across five dimensions, and method selection. The real value is the Research Question Card output that blocks you from writing proposals until you have real evidence, not just abstracts or webpages. It integrates with a larger workflow that hands off to experiment execution, then results analysis and paper writing. Good for when you're staring at a research interest and need structure to get to something fundable.
