Most research ends in scattered notes, saved tabs, and no clarity on what to actually do next.
You've gathered insights. You've spotted patterns. But translating that into strategy still takes days of staring at whiteboards.
ChatGPT can compress that loop, without cutting the thinking.
Here's the workflow:
Step 1: Dump your raw research
Paste everything: competitor notes, customer feedback, market trends, your own observations. Don't organize it yet.
Step 2: Run the synthesis prompt
You are a strategic analyst. I've completed research for [PROJECT/CAMPAIGN].
Raw inputs:
[PASTE YOUR NOTES, LINKS, OBSERVATIONS]
Analyze this and deliver:
1. PATTERNS
- What themes appear across multiple sources?
- What contradictions or tensions exist?
2. IMPLICATIONS
- What do these patterns mean for my strategy?
- What opportunities or risks do they reveal?
3. STRATEGIC CHOICES
- What should I do based on this?
- What should I NOT do?
- What's the highest-leverage move right now?
Be direct. Focus on decisions, not summaries.
Step 3: Validate and act
Review the output. If something feels off, ask follow-ups. Then commit to the next move.
Happy prompting!
