SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It resolves the "I've researched for weeks and can't write the first paragraph" blockage by transforming raw notes into claims, clusters, and a claim-shaped outline that argues instead of lists. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claim Extraction: Converts raw reading, meeting, and investigation notes into one-claim-per-line statements with source pointers and evidence/inference marks. - Clustering and Connection Hunting: Groups claims by affinity, names clusters after they form, and surfaces contradictions, dependencies, and recurring patterns across clusters. - Claim-Shaped Outlines: Derives outlines where every section heading is an assertion, then supports drafting, citation from pointers, and archiving the claim base for reuse. - Use Case: After five weeks of migration investigation across vendor docs, meetings, and spikes, turn 60 pages of notes into a go/no-go decision memo with a traceable claim file. ## Quick Start Synthesize my research notes in this folder into a claim-based outline for a decision memo.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn research notes into an outline?▼

Extract one claim per line from your notes, each with a source pointer, then cluster claims by affinity and derive the outline from the cluster structure. Every section heading should be a claim sentence, not a topic label.

How to synthesize notes when I can't start writing?▼

The blockage is usually a synthesis gap, not a writing gap: notes record encounters while outlines need claims with truth-value. Convert notes to claims first, then cluster and outline; drafting against a claim outline becomes transcription.

What is the difference between note synthesis and user interview synthesis?▼

Note synthesis handles general accumulated notes from reading, meetings, and investigations. Multi-interview user research uses the specialized user-interview-synthesis workflow, which shares the same spine but is tailored to interview data.

Why separate evidence from inference when synthesizing notes?▼

Marking sourced claims versus your own interpretations lets reviewers audit which parts are observation and which are reasoning. Without the marks, memory launders week-old guesses into apparent facts.

When should I not use note synthesis?▼

Do not use it for live capture, since the workflow starts when capture ends, or for multi-interview user research, which belongs to user-interview-synthesis. It also does not replace literature-review matrices for published sources.
