Different roles for different questions
Ask for the kind of thinking the question needs.
A good research process needs more than an answer. It needs exploration, criticism, analysis and a way to preserve what is learned.
Research Analyst
Find and organise useful information
Helps explore a question, structure findings and identify relevant material for the team to examine.
Critical Reviewer
Test ideas and assumptions
Looks for gaps in reasoning, challenges unsupported claims and asks what the current argument may be missing.
Economist
Consider incentives and trade-offs
Offers an economic lens on choices, constraints, incentives and possible consequences.
Data Analyst
Look for patterns in evidence
Helps interpret available data, compare possibilities and turn observations into questions the team can investigate.
Keep context. Show your working.
Research should be traceable.
When a project moves from question to discussion to conclusion, the reasoning behind the result should not disappear into an unrelated chat history.
- ✓Keep research outputs connected to the topic that produced them.
- ✓Record which context and saved artefacts were available during a specialist run.
- ✓Make it clear that a generated answer is a contribution to evaluate—not automatic proof that a claim is true.
Our principle
AI can expand the thinking. People remain responsible for the conclusions.
Converge is being designed to support critical thinking and shared discovery, not to present AI output as unquestionable authority.
