Skill family

Research skills

Auto-research, knowledge synthesis, intel monitoring.

Research is the highest-leverage skill family in Cognitia OS. The skills below run continuously, build a knowledge base over time, and surface only signal-worthy changes. They replace the part of analyst work that is data aggregation and first-pass synthesis. Founders typically reclaim 4–6 hours per week per research skill running on a brand.
