01 / BEST FIT
Where it creates leverage
Perplexity is useful when the first job is finding current web sources and building a research trail. It reduces search friction, but the original pages still matter: citations must be opened, checked, and weighed for authority and recency.
- Current web research
- Source discovery
- Question exploration
- Research starting points
02 / USE CASES
Useful work to test
Landscape scan
Map terminology, organizations, and competing claims before designing a deeper research plan.
Source collection
Find candidate primary sources, then inspect each original before using a claim.
Research follow-ups
Use successive questions to locate gaps, contradictions, and evidence that would change the conclusion.
03 / LIMITS
What to watch
- A citation can be real but fail to support the sentence beside it.
- Do not treat search coverage as exhaustive.
- Use primary sources for material business, technical, legal, medical, or financial claims.
