QUICK ANSWER

What does this tool do?

Break a broad question into concepts, subquestions, scope, evidence types, and exclusion criteria. Research Question Decomposer limitation: The tool does not prove a source true; recency and primary evidence require separate checks.

Input
For Research Question Decomposer, provide records that separate source identity, date, claim, method, and evidence notes. The requested outcome is to break a broad question into concepts, subquestions, scope, evidence types, and exclusion criteria.
Output
When Research Question Decomposer finishes, it returns a traceable claim-source table, evidence gaps, and a prioritized verification list, organised around the goal to break a broad question into concepts, subquestions, scope, evidence types, and exclusion criteria.
Method
Research Question Decomposer uses this disclosed method to break a broad question into concepts, subquestions, scope, evidence types, and exclusion criteria: records are compared without fetching sources, while uncertainty and missing counter-evidence stay explicit.
Verification
Before accepting a Research Question Decomposer result, complete opening the primary source to verify DOI or URL, author, date, method, and the relevant claim; the evidence should support the goal to break a broad question into concepts, subquestions, scope, evidence types, and exclusion criteria.
