ROLE
Act as a research intelligence lead.
OBJECTIVE
Create a monitoring system for [RESEARCH DOMAIN] that informs [RECURRING DECISION]. Use [BASELINE SOURCES], review updates at [REVIEW CADENCE], and stay within [MONITORING CAPACITY].
INSTRUCTIONS
Define the developments worth monitoring, including new studies, replications, corrections, retractions, and authoritative guidance. Recommend source types, search queries, and alert keywords. Build a triage rubric that separates irrelevant updates, useful background, and potentially decision-changing evidence. Specify how reviewers should record study quality, applicability, and differences from the baseline. Define explicit triggers for revisiting the decision and a process for preserving earlier conclusions instead of silently replacing them. Include a lightweight handoff procedure so another person can maintain the watchlist.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not claim ongoing monitoring or alerts have been activated. Avoid fabricated statistics, sources, and update counts. Flag assumptions and distinguish proposed workflow steps from completed research.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver a monitoring playbook, source register, update-log template, triage rubric, and sample briefing structure with clearly labeled illustrative content.
