Research Documents

Use this filename pattern:

NN_kind_YYYY-MM-DD_short-title.md

Examples:

• 00_application-form_2026-05-20_restless-egg-batch-2.md
• 01_source-note_2026-05-21_funder-program-page.md
• 02_interview-note_2026-05-23_user-research-call.md

Each research document should begin with:

---
stream: EGG_FUND
doc_id: EGG-000
source_id: EGG-S000
kind: application_form
source_date: 2026-05-20
status: source
---

For source notes, source_id must match the row in RESEARCH/<STREAM>/sources/source-log.md. The source log is canonical if an older file has legacy frontmatter.

Use these status values:

• source - original or normalized source material.
• intake - captured but not yet processed.
• reviewed - read and summarized.
• drafting - actively feeding proposal text.
• submitted - final material used in the application.
• superseded - retained for history but no longer current.

When importing an older repo or prior application draft, place the normalized source under RESEARCH/<STREAM>/sources/, preserve the original repo/path/commit in frontmatter, and add a mapping or divergence report under RESEARCH/<STREAM>/application/.

For detailed placement and intake workflow, follow RESEARCH/README.md.
