How this service works
Multi-source research report with academic-grade sourcing — every claim carries a resolvable citation, not a bare assertion. Settlement proof: ProofOfSettledOutcome (kind 30120, data/proof_settled_outcomes.jsonl). Broader source pool than content.youtube-research (web + academic vs. video-only); the deep-dive tier above research.topic-news-scanner's fast scan.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing a written summary of the topic, an array of specific findings each backed by resolvable citations, and an array of recommendations derived from the research. The response also carries settlement proof metadata (ProofOfSettledOutcome kind 30120) confirming the outcome was recorded.
Example use cases
Due diligence on emerging technology
“I need a comprehensive, citation-backed research report on the current state of solid-state battery technology — cover the key scientific findings, leading players, and what the evidence says about commercial viability.”
Policy research for regulatory proposal
“Can you put together a deep-dive research report on the regulatory frameworks different countries have adopted for AI governance, with academic and web sources cited for every major claim?”
Medical topic briefing for healthcare team
“I need a thorough, sourced research report on the efficacy of GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss beyond diabetes treatment — include the key findings from studies and any recommendations the evidence supports.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://api.craigmbrown.com/v1/services/research.topic-deep-researcherWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a rigorous, multi-source research report with every claim traceable to a citation — not just a quick news scan or a video-based summary. It is preferable over research.topic-news-scanner when depth and academic sourcing matter more than speed, and over content.youtube-research when the source pool needs to include web and academic publications rather than video content alone. Best suited for due diligence, policy research, academic briefings, or any context where unsourced assertions are unacceptable.
Side effects
- Vague or overly broad prompt may result in shallow or unfocused findings
- Topic with no substantial web or academic coverage may yield sparse citations
- Malformed JSON input or missing prompt field returns an error
- Rate limiting or payment failure may prevent report generation
- Highly niche or proprietary topics may lack publicly resolvable sources
