01 / SETUP

Get ready

  1. Open Perplexity and state your exact research question.
  2. Add a location, date range, or industry when those details matter.
02 / PROMPT

Give it this

Research [question] for [audience]. Give me a concise answer, the strongest supporting sources with publication dates, and the main uncertainty or competing view. Prefer original reports or official documentation where possible. Separate facts from your inference, and link each material claim to its source.

03 / WORKFLOW

Make it useful

  1. Open the source links and confirm they support the claims beside them.
  2. Check dates, original context, and whether a newer source changes the answer.
  3. Summarize only the verified findings in your own words.

One thing to check. A linked answer is a starting point, not a source audit. Read the underlying pages before relying on it.
