The prompt
This is what lands in your composer — edit the [blanks] and send.
Deep-dive research brief on: "[topic]". Include: (1) a 10-year timeline of decisive events with dates and primary-source links; (2) an actor map — states, IOs, NGOs, and named individuals, with each one's stated interests; (3) at least two competing analytical frames and the evidence each rests on; (4) data and trends with charts described where they exist; (5) open empirical questions and what observation would resolve them. Cite primary sources before secondary.
