Why you search again after conducting AI research
Even when the sentences are organized naturally, it is difficult to determine whether the result can be used directly for work. Official sources and personal opinions must be distinguished, and it must be possible to verify whether the information is still valid. When different sources conflict, the criteria selected and the basis for the judgment should also be presented.
| Items to verify | What to review | Problems that arise when verification is difficult |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Distinguishing official sources, statistics, press releases, and personal opinions | Difficulty assessing the reliability of the information |
| Recency | The date the material was created and whether it is currently valid | Changed policies or outdated figures may be used |
| Accessibility | Whether reference links work properly and whether the original source can be checked | It may be difficult for users to verify the basis of the answer directly |
| Consistency across sources | Differences between figures and claims from different sources | It may be unclear which information should be used as the basis for judgment |
| Business relevance | Direct relevance to the research purpose and results | The materials must be reclassified and organized |
How IVY verifies supporting evidence
IVY works with various types of materials, including text, images, and videos, and uses search assistance and tool-based information retrieval. Along with the research results, it provides the materials referenced, verifiable links, and the criteria used to connect the materials. Users can check the original sources they need directly and determine whether to use the research results.
The scope and depth of the materials change the results
It is difficult to understand the full context using only the materials at the top of search results and a selection of news articles. Even on the same topic, the scope and perspectives of information provided by companies, public institutions, research institutions, the media, and practitioners differ. IVY reviews multiple types of materials together and organizes the common patterns, differences, causes of change, and business impact.
ARI for connecting repetitive research to business workflows
Industry news, policy announcements, competitor products, and price changes need to be checked again at set intervals. When the person responsible enters search terms and organizes the materials each time, time is repeatedly spent on the same task. IVY's ARI supports executing the research and organization process according to specified schedules and conditions.
- Set an execution schedule, such as every Monday at 9:00 a.m.
- Collect the latest materials related to the industries, policies, and technologies of interest.
- Classify the materials by topic and importance.
- Identify changes by comparing them with the results of previous research.
- Organize the sources and reference links for the materials.
- Generate a draft report for the person responsible to review.
| Component | IVY's role | ARI's role | Person responsible's role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material research | Search for relevant materials and organize their content | Execute according to specified schedules and conditions | Set the research scope and criteria |
| Information classification | Analyse relationships and differences by topic | Apply a repeatable classification procedure | Confirm the importance of the work |
| Result preparation | Compile research results with supporting evidence | Generate and deliver a draft report | Review the content and make the final decision |
Business research you can verify and use
The business value of AI research should be evaluated based on generation speed, the ability to verify sources, the currency of the information, interpretation criteria, and the ability to connect with follow-up tasks. These criteria can be applied to market research, policy reviews, technology research, customer analysis, proposal preparation, and internal knowledge searches. IVY finds the necessary materials, preserves the supporting evidence, and provides results organized for the business purpose.
| Evaluation criteria | Questions to verify |
|---|---|
| Evidence verification | Can you directly verify the original sources and references used? |
| Information currency | Were materials valid as of the current date retrieved? |
| Contextual interpretation | Have the differences between the materials and their impact on the work been organized? |
| Use of results | Are the results in a format that can be used for meetings, reports, proposals, and decision-making? |
| Connection to work | Can the process lead to regular research and follow-up tasks? |
