majiayu000 Bundle Research GrillInterviews a researcher, in rounds, until a research idea, design, or draft has no silently assumed decision left — every question numbered, each with a plain-language "why this matters" and a recommended answer, facts fetched by the assistant rather than asked, and every settled decision written to a file. Three stages, idea (a topic or hunch → a falsifiable question and a contribution claim), design (a question → estimand, identification, sample and power, measurement, pre-registration, analysis plan, venue), and defend (a finished design or draft → the objections a reviewer would raise, before the reviewer does). Use when the user says "grill me", "grill this", "stress-test my idea/design/plan", "interview me about this project", "poke holes in this", "what am I assuming", or brings a research idea that is not yet a design. Suitable for BA, MA, and PhD students as well as grant designs; it never answers the research question for the researcher. Adapted for research from Matt Pocock's grill-me. For a softwa
