The 3 Laws of Copilot Research Mastery

  1. Law #1 — Be a Producer, not a Consumer: Tell Copilot how to think (rubrics, scoring, inclusion/exclusion rules).
  2. Law #2 — Chain in Loops: Iterate with critique → refine → verify. Ask Copilot to self-check against your rubric.
  3. Law #3 — Ground to Sources: Request citations, URLs, and “confidence notes” for every major claim.

End-to-End Research Workflows 

  1. Discovery → Synthesis → Brief: Edge/Bing (Prompt #10) → Loop Hub (Prompt #9) → Word Brief (Prompt #1).
  2. Market Map → Exec Deck: Excel Map (#3) → PowerPoint Brief (#5) → Outlook Client Update (#7).
  3. Policy Change → Rollout: SharePoint Summary (#11) → Teams Blueprint (#8) → Power Automate Digest (#12).

Security, Compliance & Data Hygiene

  • Enterprise mode only: Use Copilot with tenant safeguards; avoid pasting confidential client data into general chats.
  • Purview DLP: Build redaction examples into prompts (Prompt #13) and log risky actions.
  • Source tracking: Ask for citations + confidence scores in every synthesis prompt to reduce hallucinations.

Pro Tips for Analysts, PMs & Scholars

  • Always pin constraints: Word count, structure, scoring rubrics.
  • Iterate in loops: “Critique your own output against criteria X; then revise.”
  • Make output import-friendly: Request CSV/Markdown tables for easy reuse in Excel/Power BI/Notion.
