Compare perspectives on a specific research question
Prompt detail
Using only the selected materials {{@materials}}, analyze how they address the following research question:
{{research_question}}
For each source:
- Summarize its position on the question
- Note any unique assumptions or methods
Then:
- Identify points of agreement across sources
- Identify fundamental disagreements
- Explain possible reasons for these differences
What the prompt does
When researching a topic, different sources often reach conflicting conclusions or use incompatible methods. Manually cross-referencing documents, reports, and articles to map out where they agree and diverge is tedious and error-prone.
With remio, you select specific materials — reports, meeting notes, shared documents, or email threads — and pose a research question. remio reads each source, summarizes its stance, flags unique assumptions, then delivers a structured comparison highlighting agreements, disagreements, and the likely reasons behind those differences.
When to use
• Evaluating conflicting vendor proposals or market research reports before a strategic decision
• Preparing a literature review where you need to map consensus and debate across multiple studies or whitepapers
• Reconciling different teams' findings on the same business question — e.g., why sales data and customer feedback tell different stories
• Auditing policy documents from different departments to surface inconsistencies before a compliance review
• Synthesizing competitor analyses written by different analysts to find blind spots or shared assumptions
Prompt examples
Input: Using only the selected materials @Q3 Customer Churn Report, @Product Usage Analytics Summary, @Customer Success Team Retro Notes, analyze how they address the following research question: What is the primary driver of customer churn in our mid-market segment?
remio responds:
The Q3 Customer Churn Report attributes mid-market churn primarily to pricing sensitivity, citing exit survey data where 62% of departing customers mentioned cost as a factor. The Product Usage Analytics Summary takes a different view, pointing to feature adoption gaps — specifically, mid-market accounts that churned used only 3 of 12 core features on average. The Customer Success Team Retro Notes emphasize onboarding delays and inconsistent account management as root causes. All three sources agree that churn accelerates after month four. The key disagreement is whether the driver is economic (pricing), behavioral (adoption), or operational (support quality). These differences likely stem from each source relying on distinct data: surveys, product telemetry, and qualitative team observations, respectively.
Tip 1: Select sources that use different methodologies or data types — quantitative reports, qualitative notes, and external research — to get the most meaningful comparison of perspectives.
Tip 2: Frame your research question as a specific claim or hypothesis rather than an open-ended topic. "What causes X?" yields sharper source-by-source analysis than "Tell me about X."
Tip 3: Include 3-5 materials for optimal depth; fewer than three limits comparison, while too many can dilute the focus of each source's summary.
