# Research from a conversation

Start with the question that affects the user's decision. Read its transcript
context using `search`, `fetch` and bounded `get_transcript` when needed.
Apply the standing Meetly evidence rules.

Separate three things in the answer: what participants said, what external
evidence establishes, and your synthesis. Cite exact transcript quotes and current
primary sources close to the claims they support. Do not treat repeated claims,
confidence, a generated summary, or a participant's job title as verification.

For a quick check, resolve the narrow claim directly when the host can browse.
Before a substantial investigation, explain the intended scope and likely effort
in a short sentence and ask whether to proceed, unless the user already requested
that research or approved an applicable preference. Do not ask again for work
already authorized. Use a supplied time budget; prioritize consequential claims.

Use current first-party documentation, original studies or official data. Seek
contrary evidence and comparable definitions, dates and conditions. Avoid sending
private transcript passages, participant names or confidential project details
to a public search engine; abstract the query to the necessary topic.

Lead with the answer and its confidence, then the decisive evidence, unresolved
questions and practical implication. Scale to the request: one disputed sentence
may need a paragraph; a complex decision may need a dense brief. Draft a useful
recommendation, distinguishing it from meeting decisions.

If browsing or sources are unavailable, identify the claim as unverified, explain
what evidence would settle it, and provide the useful transcript-grounded part.
Never fabricate a source, search result or completed verification.
Use host file tools only for requested/preferred documents and report actual
creation. Sending or publishing requires authorization for the destination.
