# From sources to a finished brief

Use one small research brief to learn how Knowledge, Chat, Files, and review fit together. This example does not require external publication.

## 1. Gather the sources
Add the relevant documents to Knowledge or attach them to the chat. Give each a recognizable name. Confirm processing has finished and that Gideon can find the intended items.

## 2. Define the question
> **Try this**
> Using [source names], answer [question] for [audience]. Produce a one-page brief with the conclusion, supporting evidence, disagreements between sources, and open questions. Cite each material claim. Do not browse or add other sources unless I ask.

## 3. Review the draft
Open the cited material. Check dates, numbers, and statements that rely on inference. Ask Gideon to revise specific passages. Keep disagreements visible instead of forcing a single confident answer.

## 4. Keep the result
Ask for a saved file or artifact, then open it. Confirm the title, formatting, citations, and any export. Put lasting reference material in Knowledge if you want to reuse it.

## 5. Repeat deliberately
If this becomes regular work, save the prompt or build a workflow with a review step. Add a schedule only after one complete run produces the result you expect.
