Perplexity Deep Research: Build a Verifiable Report
References checked: 5 October 2026

Task: What evidence could change this decision?
Inputs: [provide a research question, criteria, exclusions, and source preferences]
Audience: [intended reader]
Required result: a report separating evidence, interpretation, and limitations.
Use approved sources and preserve dates, definitions, conditions, and exceptions. Separate confirmed facts, interpretation, and unresolved questions. Do not invent missing details. Show the evidence needed to review consequential claims. Ask one focused question if a missing requirement blocks the result.
Acceptance checks:
- Recommendations map to criteria
- Evidence dates are visible
- Untested capabilities are labeled
- Contrary evidence is addressed

Practice
Create a fictional brief with three criteria and two exclusions. Check every item against the report.
