Live Notebook: The Core Workflow for a Market Research Agent
A market research agent is only as good as its evidence workflow. The fastest way to improve research quality is to run everything through a live notebook process that captures pages, clusters themes, and preserves source-backed notes.
Why live notebook is the foundation
- It captures research while browsing.
- It supports collaborative research notes.
- It keeps source-level evidence for every claim.
- It turns repeated signals into actionable themes.
Practical setup
- Start one notebook per research question.
- Capture Reddit, competitor pages, and support content.
- Group findings into pain points, unmet needs, and alternatives.
- Convert clusters into decisions and roadmap input.
Evidence quality standard
Use this simple rule before presenting any insight to customers or stakeholders:
- no insight without at least 3 independent sources
- no pain point without a direct quote
- no opportunity claim without evidence of willingness to switch
This standard is what separates "interesting notes" from a market research asset that can influence product decisions.
