What you’ll accomplish
You’ll record a checked finding, or a clearly unresolved question, with the next step needed to answer it.
Learn with the simulation
On desktop, the simulation opens automatically when you enter this lesson. Follow the popup hints to send a request, read its reply, and check the result. If you close it, click Start the simulation under Your turn to reopen it. Each lesson prepares its fictional Atlas materials; no model setup is needed.The simulation runs locally with preset replies. It does not call AI or search the web, and refreshing resets the practice. On mobile, read the steps first and use a desktop browser for the interactive exercise.
Before practising in the real app
Keep the lesson 3 evidence brief and one open question ready. The time estimate covers setting up and reviewing the request; a research run may take longer.Use a general question for public research. Keep confidential details and personal data out of web search requests.
Your turn
Follow the hints in the automatically opened simulation. After practising, use the steps below to repeat the workflow with your own material in Nowledge Mem.1
Choose one open question
Decide what kind of evidence could answer it. Team capacity needs an internal estimate or trial; external articles cannot establish it. For that route, record who could answer and what to measure, then continue to lesson 5.For the public-research route, look for documented methods that help teams find cross-team dependencies before committing plans.

Enable Deep Research for a public question
For this multi-source exercise, turn on Research in the AI Now conversation. AI Now can also use web search in ordinary tasks; waiting until now is this course’s way of separating saved evidence from new research. If Research is unavailable, record the gap and next investigation step. Mark the research exercise as not run.
3
Ask for sources, not a generic verdict
Keep the research scoped:
4
Compare the research with your own evidence
Open the most relevant cited source. Check the claimed method or result against the original. Compare its participants and planning horizon with the Atlas question. Advice may suggest something to try; it does not prove the review will work for Atlas. If a source cannot be read, leave its claim unverified.In the conversation, record the finding, its source and date, the limitation, and what remains unknown. If the run found no relevant evidence, record that limited search outcome and plan a small internal test. Do not turn “not found in this run” into “no evidence exists.”
Follow the popup hints; reopen the simulation if you closed it.
Lesson complete. Continue to the next lesson, or try it in Nowledge Mem.
What you should see
You have an explicit gap and a next action. If you ran Deep Research, you also have a finding checked against its source, or a record that this run found no relevant evidence. Neither outcome proves that the review works or fails.
Planning an internal follow-up completes the investigation-planning route. The Deep Research exercise is complete only after a real run and source review, or a recorded no-evidence result. If sources could not be checked, keep that verification pending.
