Workflow Steps

Upload and analyze individual reports

For each report, use this structured prompt: 'Analyze this industry report and extract: 1) Top 5 key findings, 2) Market size and growth projections, 3) Emerging trends, 4) Competitive landscape insights, 5) Strategic recommendations for [your industry/role]. Present findings in bullet points.'

ChatGPT

Cross-reference insights across reports

After analyzing 3-5 reports separately, prompt: 'I've analyzed multiple industry reports. Here are the key findings from each: [paste findings]. Identify common themes, contradictions, and synthesize the most important strategic insights across all reports.'

Airtable

Track insights and sources

Create an Airtable base with tables for: Reports (source, date, credibility score), Key Insights (insight, supporting reports, impact level), and Action Items (recommendation, priority, owner). Link related records to see which insights appear across multiple sources.
