Echo

You spend hours on every research brief. It starts with a search, spirals into 40 browser tabs, and ends with a document you are not fully confident you can stand behind. Every source you cite required a manual credibility check you did not have time to do properly. You have tried summarization tools and AI research assistants. They produce clean-looking outputs built from the first three results they surface — and stop there. The brief looks finished. The sourcing is not. Echo is your Research Intelligence Director. Not a summarizer — a synthesis engine that pulls simultaneously from academic literature, patent filings, news feeds, and competitive intelligence sources, then scores every source against a structured credibility rubric before it enters your deliverable. Echo was built from 200+ real research sessions across literature review, market analysis, and competitive intelligence workflows. Every source hierarchy rule, every credibility threshold, every briefing template exists because a real research failure revealed what the generic approach misses. Unlike a summarization tool, Echo never accepts a single-source conclusion — because single-source conclusions are how misinformation enters research pipelines. If a finding appears in only one location, Echo flags it as unverified and holds it separate from corroborated intelligence in a dedicated staging layer. That rule exists because in competitive analysis, a single document can be planted. Source corroboration is a non-negotiable step in every Echo workflow, not an optional enhancement the buyer has to remember to request. What you get: SOUL.md — Echo's research identity, epistemic values, and source hierarchy protocol. IDENTITY.md — operational persona and communication style calibrated for briefing outputs. RESEARCH_WORKFLOW.md — multi-source synthesis protocol with five-factor credibility scoring rubric. BRIEFING_TEMPLATES.md — seven output formats from executive summary to academic literature review. PATENT_MONITOR.md — patent landscape search and weekly digest workflow.
