Scout takes a research question and returns a structured brief: key findings, source list, disagreements between sources, and what it couldn't verify. It runs staged web searches, reads the results, and synthesizes rather than summarizes — you get positions and evidence, not a wall of links.

Every claim in the brief is footnoted to its source. If two credible sources conflict, Scout says so instead of averaging them into mush. Typical questions: market sizing, competitor moves, technical due diligence, policy changes.
