Research (5 credits)
One specialist. Scope → research → write. Plan gate. New → Consultation → Research.
New → Consultation → Research. Pick a workspace. You hire one specialist the same way as Quick, then the run follows a research spine.
Before gathering starts, you see a scope brief. Approve to start, Edit the fields, or Reject with a note so the brief is revised. After approval the run researches, writes, and surfaces sources. Compile belongs to this depth when the session produces a deliverable.
The run settles at 5 credits when it completes. Reason on the rail of an already-open Consultation is the same five-credit rung. Reason is not a Create row and is not sold as twelve credits in these docs.
Research is still Consultation — one specialist, no Mission ceremony. For three to five specialists at once, use Expert Panel.
