Research report
A multi-section document a research tool writes from many sources, usually with a summary, findings and a source list.
What it means
A research report is the long output of a research tool. It usually opens with a short summary, moves through sections on the findings, and ends with a list of sources. Some tools plan the question, research it chapter by chapter, and write the report in one pass. Others return a set of notes. Length, depth and source count vary widely, so compare real samples rather than marketing pages.
When you judge a report, check whether every figure has a source, whether the sources are primary (filings, statistics, papers) or secondary (blogs and summaries), and whether the report says what it could not find. A good report is clear about its gaps. Give the same brief to two tools and compare the sources, not just the length. That single test shows more about quality than any headline score.
