Convert raw discovery notes into structured insights using atomic research methods adapted for data products. Use when synthesizing findings, reviewing evidence, summarizing research, writing problem briefs, or when someone asks "what did we learn?" or "what does the evidence say?".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Evidence Hierarchy

Assess evidence for the specific question, coverage, independence and recency. These source types offer different signals, not a universal ranking:

1. **Observed workarounds**: Record the task, cost and alternatives using `data-consumer-discovery`. Investment shows effort, not validated demand or willingness to buy.
2. **Usage data**: Query logs, dashboard access and API calls show recorded behavior within instrumentation and access limits.
3. **Quality incidents**: Tickets and escalations show reported problems; silence does not establish absence of harm.
4. **Consumer quotes**: Preserve wording, context and independence. Repeated quotes can suggest a pattern, not a fixed validation threshold.
5. **Stakeholder requests**: Separate the requested solution from the decision, constraints and authority behind it.

When usage and interviews conflict, check identity, coverage, period, permissions and workflow definitions. Logs may miss off-platform work; interviews may describe intended rather than observed behavior. Preserve unresolved contradictions.

## Atomic Research Chain

Build insights from the bottom up. Every level must trace to the one below it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hollandkevint/data-product-operator/research-synthesis-data@sha256:b64a490192fcf1cd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
