Research briefs
A research brief is a short, sourced memo an agent writes so a trader can decide whether an idea is worth more work. It records claims, dates, unknowns, and what would change the conclusion. It does not produce an order.

Research briefs FAQ
What is a research brief on Crypto Agent Desk?
A research brief is a playbook for turning a trading question into a one-pass memo: sources, a bear case, and an explicit list of what is still unknown. The human accepts or rejects the memo before any size is discussed.
Why not ask the agent for a price target?
A price target invites the model to sound precise about a guess. These briefs ask for facts that can be checked and for the conditions that would kill the idea.
How often should a brief be rerun?
Rerun it when a load-bearing fact changes: a contract upgrade, an unlock, a venue listing, or a number you cited that is now stale. Do not rerun it because the price moved and you want the prose to agree.
