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

End-to-End Research Workflows
- Discovery → Synthesis → Brief: Edge/Bing (Prompt #10) → Loop Hub (Prompt #9) → Word Brief (Prompt #1).
- Market Map → Exec Deck: Excel Map (#3) → PowerPoint Brief (#5) → Outlook Client Update (#7).
- 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.
