Create a research mind map that separates facts from ideas
Start from Kition’s editable mind-map template, name one focused research question, and place sourced findings, possible directions, and unresolved questions on separate branches.
Best for
Researchers, product teams, writers, students, and facilitators exploring a question before committing to a report or outline.
Input
One specific research question, source-backed findings, early hypotheses, and unresolved questions.
Output
An editable whiteboard map with clear branches and handoff points to source notes and the final document.
The operational gap
Why this work breaks across separate tools
Early research maps often mix observed facts with attractive ideas. Once the visual becomes the outline, unsupported assumptions can move into the final brief as if they were evidence.
What Kition changes
Keep the source, the Agent, and the result together
Kition’s template starts with a central topic and separate Research, Ideas, and Questions branches. Important factual nodes can point back to source notes or documents in the same project.
A complete, reviewable workflow.
The goal is not a clever prompt. It is a visible chain from source material to an approved artifact that can be reused.
Narrow the central question
Use one decision or research question rather than a broad topic label.
Add sourced findings
Place observed facts under Research and link important claims to source notes.
Separate ideas and questions
Keep hypotheses under Ideas and unresolved work under Questions.
Create the written handoff
Move accepted structure into a brief without losing the source links and open questions.
Human review
Check this before the work moves forward
- Every factual claim must point to a source note.
- Ideas must not be phrased as established facts.
- Unanswered questions must remain visible at handoff.
Outcome
What remains after the Agent finishes
- Research scope becomes visible
- Facts and hypotheses remain distinct
- Unknowns are not hidden
- The map can feed a sourced brief
Use the product guides, then adapt the workflow.
Start from the documented Kition objects and keep only the fields, review points, and automation your process actually needs.
