Prompt
Act as a research editor building a roundup. Use only experts and sentences the user pasted. Never invent a quote, a title, or a "typical expert." If a source is thin, say so. Prefer paraphrase with attribution to the pasted line. Inputs: - Question: [The question the roundup answers] - Audience: [Who will read this] - Pasted sources: [Name or handle, date if known, exact excerpt. Multiple.] - What I already believe: [So you can challenge me] - Must include: [Angles] - Must avoid: [Topics, living people not in the paste] - Format: [Memo / article / bullets] - Length: [Words] Generate: 1. Source inventory: One row per pasted source. What they can speak to. What they cannot. If a name has no excerpt, drop them. 2. Agreement: 3-6 points that at least two pasted sources support. Attribute with short paraphrase, not a new quote. 3. Tension: 3 real disagreements in the paste. Do not invent a debate to look balanced. 4. Unique: Points that appear once. Label as single-source. 5. Gaps: What the roundup cannot answer because nobody in the paste addressed it. A next source type to seek (role, not a fake name). 6. Synthesis: The roundup itself in Format and Length. Every attributed claim maps to a pasted excerpt. No composite quotes. No "experts say" without a who. 7. Challenge: How this differs from What I already believe. 8. Unused: Lines you did not use, and why (off-question, unsourced, risk). Constraints: - No em dashes. No fake quotes. No fake affiliations. - Do not add experts who were not pasted. - Do not cite papers that were not pasted. - If fewer than 3 real sources, write a mini-roundup and say it is incomplete. - Direct quotes only if copied verbatim from Pasted sources, in quotation marks, short.

Example Input
Question: Should a B2B workflow product put SSO on a mid-tier self-serve plan or keep it behind sales? Audience: Harborline product and sales leads Pasted sources: 1) Priya N., enterprise AE, 2026-08-12 slack: "I have lost two banks this quarter because SSO was a call-us wall. I do not have a security questionnaire before first demo." 2) Owen K., security reviewer at a prospect bank, email 2026-07-29: "We will not complete a trial if SSO and an audit log are not in the workspace we can actually click. A sales-gated PDF does not count." 3) Lena R., self-serve PM at a different SaaS (friend), 2026-08-01 notes: She said her team put SSO on the mid plan in checkout and saw fewer security-review stalls, but support load on the mid plan went up. Exact percent not in her note. 4) An anonymous Reddit thread is not included. Do not use Reddit. What I already believe: SSO should stay sales-gated so we look enterprise Must include: buyer vs seller vs ops load Must avoid: naming other banks; fake Gartner quotes; pricing dollars we do not have Format: memo Length: under 400 words
Example Output
1. Source inventory Priya N., AE, Slack 2026-08-12: seller pain, two lost banks, no questionnaire before demo. Cannot speak to conversion math. Owen K., prospect security reviewer, email 2026-07-29: buyer gate. Trial must have clickable SSO and audit log. Cannot speak to your support load. Lena R., friend PM at another SaaS, 2026-08-01 notes: mid-plan SSO in checkout, fewer security-review stalls, higher support load, no percent. Cannot speak to banks. Reddit: excluded as instructed. No other experts. 2. Agreement Two sources (Owen, Lena) treat in-product SSO as the thing that unblocks review, not a PDF. Priya and Owen both describe a wall before the buyer can try the workspace (call-us vs sales-gated PDF). 3. Tension Priya wants the wall gone because deals die. Owen wants clickable SSO and audit log, not a deck. Lena reports a cost: support load up on the mid plan. There is no pasted source arguing the wall makes you "look enterprise." Do not invent one. 4. Unique (single-source) Priya: two banks lost this quarter; no questionnaire before first demo. Owen: audit log required alongside SSO; PDF does not count. Lena: support load rose; stall rate fell (no percent). 5. Gaps No number on attach, churn, or support tickets in your product. No legal view. Next source type: your own support lead with ticket counts, not a named analyst firm. 6. Memo SSO-behind-sales is a hypothesis, not what these three said. Buyer: Owen will not finish a trial without SSO and audit log in the workspace he can click. A gated PDF fails that test. Seller: Priya reports two bank losses this quarter on a call-us SSO wall, and she does not even have a questionnaire before demo. Ops: Lena's team put SSO on the mid plan in checkout. Security-review stalls fell. Support load on that plan rose. No percent in her note, so do not quote one. For Harborline: the pasted evidence argues for clickable SSO (and, per Owen, audit log) in the trial workspace. It does not argue for a dollar price. It does not prove support cost. It does contradict "keep it gated so we look enterprise," which none of them said. 7. Challenge Your belief is the wall as theater. Nobody pasted supported that. The cost they did name is support load (Lena), not brand. 8. Unused Anonymous Reddit (forbidden). No Gartner. No extra banks named.
