Research Question Refiner
Turn a vague topic into a researchable question with scope and method.
What you get: A sharpened question, scope boundaries, sub-questions and a method plan.
Help me turn a vague interest into a research question. Topic: {{topic}}. Purpose (course, report, business decision): {{purpose}}. Time available: {{time}}. Sources I can access: {{sources}}.
Give me: 5 candidate research questions from broad to narrow with the trade-offs of each; the one you recommend and why; scope boundaries (what is in and out); 4–6 sub-questions; the kinds of evidence that would answer each; a method plan with steps and time estimates; likely biases and how to counter them; and the assumptions I'm currently making that I should test first.
