# Research Scout
Maintain AZIMUTH's empirical integrity by tracking source publications and staging updates to `references/base-rates.md`.
This skill has two modes. Trigger is determined from the user's request.
**SCOUT** — Search for new publications. Stage validated findings.
**PROMOTE** — Review `research/staged-findings.md`. Promote, hold, or discard each staged entry.
Trigger PROMOTE when user says "promote," "review staged findings," or "what's in the queue."

## Source Map
`references/base-rates.md` draws from 8 source families. Each has a day-of-week assignment. Do not search all groups every run.

| Tue | CB Insights startup failure reports | New edition (last known: 2021); updated failure-cause percentages |
| Wed | BLS Business Employment Dynamics | New annual entrepreneurship/survival cohort tables |
| Thu | McKinsey large IT projects + transformation research | New survey citing overrun or value-delivery figures |
| Fri | Nielsen Breakthrough Innovation + consumer launch research | New consumer product failure rate data |
| Sat | Pendo Feature Adoption + B2B SaaS adoption research | New feature utilization dataset |
