# Research & Strategize

<details open>

<summary><strong>Find Supporting Evidence</strong></summary>

Pull every passage from a document that supports a specific position you're trying to advance.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
Research the attached document for language, facts, or provisions that support the position currently under discussion in this matter, including any passages that undercut or qualify it. For each, quote the language, cite the location, and explain how strongly it supports or weakens the position. Don't stretch — return only what genuinely fits, and flag if support is thin.
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
State the position in the matter or in the conversation before running — the prompt pulls from that rather than asking you to type it inline.
{% endhint %}

</details>

<details open>

<summary><strong>Develop Legal Strategy and Next Steps</strong></summary>

Turns the facts and documents in a matter into a practical strategy, issue list, and next-step plan — analysis to inform your judgment, not advice to rely on.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
Analyze the facts and documents in this matter to develop a practical strategy and next-step plan. Identify the key issues, strongest arguments, weakest points, evidentiary gaps, procedural risks, and likely opponent responses, then recommend next actions. Separate legal analysis from practical strategy, and flag any assumption that needs attorney verification or jurisdiction-specific research.
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Use when you need a read on what to do next, how strong a position is, or which arguments and evidence matter most. Verify assumptions before acting.
{% endhint %}
