Help me turn a broad interest into a focused research plan.
Broad topic: {{topic}}
What I ultimately want to do with the answers: {{end_goal}}
Produce:
1. One primary research question that is specific and answerable.
2. {{sub_count}} sub-questions that break the primary question into pieces.
3. For each sub-question, the type of evidence that would answer it (data, expert opinion, case study, experiment).
4. Questions to AVOID because they are too broad, leading, or unanswerable, with a quick fix for each.
Make the questions precise enough that I would know when I have actually answered them.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
