## Worked Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Technology Adoption Decision
|
||||
|
||||
**Question**: "Should our company adopt Rust for backend services?"
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 1 — Define**
|
||||
|
||||
Decompose into sub-questions:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Main: "Should our company adopt Rust for backend services?"
|
||||
Sub-questions:
|
||||
1. What are Rust's strengths for backend work? (factual)
|
||||
2. What are the real-world costs of adoption? (factual + case studies)
|
||||
3. How does Rust compare to our current stack (Go) on key metrics? (comparative)
|
||||
4. What do teams of our size (15-30 engineers) report? (case studies)
|
||||
5. What is the hiring/training landscape? (survey)
|
||||
6. What are the migration paths and risks? (how-to + risk analysis)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Scope constraints: Backend HTTP services, team of 20 engineers currently using Go, latency-sensitive workloads, 18-month planning horizon.
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 2 — Search (multi-strategy)**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Strategy 1 (Direct): "Rust backend production experience"
|
||||
Strategy 2 (Authoritative): site:arxiv.org "Rust" "memory safety" performance
|
||||
Strategy 3 (Practical): "migrating from Go to Rust" blog OR postmortem
|
||||
Strategy 4 (Contrarian): "Rust backend" problems OR regret OR "not worth"
|
||||
Strategy 5 (Data): "Rust" "developer survey" adoption 2024 2025
|
||||
Strategy 6 (Case studies): site:engineering.*.com Rust adoption
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 3 — Evaluate (CRAAP scoring)**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Source 1: Rust annual survey (rust-lang.org) → A (primary, current)
|
||||
Source 2: Discord engineering blog on Rust migration → A (primary, practitioner)
|
||||
Source 3: Figma "Rust in production" post → A (primary, detailed metrics)
|
||||
Source 4: Random Medium post "Rust is the future" → D (no credentials, no data)
|
||||
Source 5: AWS SDK for Rust announcement → B (authoritative, but marketing)
|
||||
Source 6: "Why we moved back to Go" blog post → B (primary experience, single case)
|
||||
Source 7: Stack Overflow developer survey → A (large sample, methodology documented)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Drop Source 4 entirely. Use Source 6 as a counterpoint despite being a single case.
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 4 — Synthesize**
|
||||
```
|
||||
FINDING 1: Rust delivers measurable performance and reliability gains
|
||||
Evidence for: Discord reported 50% memory reduction after migration [2].
|
||||
Figma measured p99 latency improvements of 3-5x for compute-heavy paths [3].
|
||||
Evidence against: Gains may be marginal for I/O-bound CRUD services [6].
|
||||
Confidence: High for compute-intensive workloads, medium for I/O-bound.
|
||||
|
||||
FINDING 2: Adoption cost is front-loaded and significant
|
||||
Evidence for: Average ramp-up time for experienced Go/C++ engineers is
|
||||
3-6 months to productive Rust [2][7]. Compile times 2-5x longer than Go [3].
|
||||
Evidence against: Teams report that after the learning curve, maintenance
|
||||
costs drop due to fewer production incidents [2][3].
|
||||
Confidence: High
|
||||
|
||||
FINDING 3: Hiring pipeline is narrow but growing
|
||||
Evidence for: Rust ranks as "most admired" language for 8 consecutive years
|
||||
in SO survey, but only ~13% of developers use it professionally [7].
|
||||
Evidence against: Rust job demand is growing ~40% YoY [7].
|
||||
Confidence: Medium — hiring data is self-reported.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 5 — Verify and deliver**
|
||||
|
||||
Cross-check: Discord and Figma metrics are confirmed by independent engineering talks. SO survey methodology is published and peer-reviewed.
|
||||
|
||||
Final recommendation structure:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Adopt for: Latency-sensitive, compute-heavy services (strong evidence)
|
||||
Avoid for: Simple CRUD APIs where Go is already performant (low ROI)
|
||||
Mitigate hiring risk: Invest in internal training, start with one team
|
||||
Timeline: 6-month pilot on a non-critical service before broader adoption
|
||||
Confidence: Medium-high — strong technical evidence, moderate organizational evidence
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: Incident Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Question**: "What caused the 2024 CrowdStrike outage and what are the implications?"
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 1 — Define**
|
||||
|
||||
This is a causal question with survey elements. Decompose:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Main: "What caused the 2024 CrowdStrike outage?"
|
||||
Sub-questions:
|
||||
1. What happened? (timeline — factual)
|
||||
2. What was the technical root cause? (causal)
|
||||
3. What was the scope of impact? (factual, data)
|
||||
4. How did CrowdStrike respond? (factual)
|
||||
5. What systemic issues does this reveal? (analytical)
|
||||
6. What changed in the industry as a result? (survey + predictive)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 2 — Search**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Strategy 1 (Primary): site:crowdstrike.com "July 2024" postmortem OR incident
|
||||
Strategy 2 (Technical): "CrowdStrike" "channel file" root cause analysis
|
||||
Strategy 3 (Impact data): "CrowdStrike outage" damages OR cost OR impact 2024
|
||||
Strategy 4 (Regulatory): site:gov "CrowdStrike" review OR hearing OR testimony
|
||||
Strategy 5 (Contrarian): "CrowdStrike" "kernel driver" criticism before:2024-07-01
|
||||
Strategy 6 (Expert): "CrowdStrike outage" analysis site:*.edu OR site:arxiv.org
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note Strategy 5: searching for pre-incident criticism establishes whether warnings existed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 3 — Evaluate and build timeline**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Timeline (verified — Level 3):
|
||||
2024-07-19 04:09 UTC CrowdStrike deploys Channel File 291 update
|
||||
2024-07-19 04:09-05:27 Falcon sensor crashes → Windows BSOD on boot
|
||||
2024-07-19 05:27 UTC CrowdStrike reverts the channel file
|
||||
2024-07-19 ~06:00 Scope becomes apparent: 8.5M Windows devices affected
|
||||
2024-07-19-21 Manual remediation required (boot to Safe Mode, delete file)
|
||||
2024-07-20-25 Airlines, hospitals, banks in multi-day recovery
|
||||
|
||||
Sources: CrowdStrike PIR [A], Microsoft blog [A], Reuters reporting [B],
|
||||
Congressional testimony transcript [A]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 4 — Synthesize root cause**
|
||||
```
|
||||
FINDING 1: Technical root cause was an out-of-bounds memory read
|
||||
A channel file update (type 291) contained malformed data.
|
||||
The Falcon sensor's Content Interpreter triggered an OOB read,
|
||||
causing a kernel-level crash (BSOD). The sensor ran as a kernel
|
||||
driver, so its crash took down the entire OS.
|
||||
Sources: CrowdStrike PIR [A], independent reverse engineering [B]
|
||||
Confidence: High (confirmed by vendor + independent analysis)
|
||||
|
||||
FINDING 2: The update bypassed adequate testing
|
||||
Channel files ("rapid response content") used a different validation
|
||||
pipeline than sensor code. The Template Type tested had 20 input
|
||||
fields; the deployed content provided 21. The validator did not
|
||||
catch the mismatch.
|
||||
Sources: CrowdStrike PIR [A], Congressional testimony [A]
|
||||
Confidence: High
|
||||
|
||||
FINDING 3: Impact — $5-10B+ in estimated damages
|
||||
8.5M devices affected (Microsoft estimate). Delta Air Lines alone
|
||||
reported $500M in losses. Parametrix estimated $5.4B in direct
|
||||
losses for Fortune 500 companies.
|
||||
Sources: Microsoft [A], Parametrix [B], Delta SEC filing [A]
|
||||
Confidence: Medium-high (total figure is estimated, individual claims are documented)
|
||||
|
||||
FINDING 4: Systemic issue — monoculture risk in security infrastructure
|
||||
A single vendor's kernel-level agent was present on ~24% of
|
||||
enterprise Windows endpoints. Pre-incident criticism of kernel-mode
|
||||
security agents existed but was not widely acted upon.
|
||||
Sources: Congressional hearing [A], pre-incident security research [B]
|
||||
Confidence: High
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 5 — Verify and present implications**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Verified implications (cross-referenced across 3+ independent sources):
|
||||
1. Regulatory pressure on kernel-mode security agents accelerated
|
||||
2. Microsoft announced Windows Resiliency Initiative (user-mode alternatives)
|
||||
3. Enterprise customers began requiring staged/canary rollout for security updates
|
||||
4. Cyber insurance models updated to account for single-vendor concentration
|
||||
|
||||
Remaining uncertainties:
|
||||
- Full financial impact is still in litigation (Delta v. CrowdStrike)
|
||||
- Long-term market share impact on CrowdStrike is unclear
|
||||
- Whether kernel-mode restrictions will actually be enforced
|
||||

## Research Shortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Stop Researching
|
||||
|
||||
Research has diminishing returns. Recognize these signals:
|
||||
|
||||
**Stop signals — you have enough**:
|
||||
- Three independent sources converge on the same answer
|
||||
- New searches return sources you have already seen
|
||||
- The last 3 searches added no new information or perspectives
|
||||
- You have found primary source data that directly answers the question
|
||||
- Remaining disagreements are about edge cases, not the core finding
|
||||
|
||||
**Keep going signals — you do not have enough**:
|
||||
- Only one source supports a critical claim
|
||||
- Two credible sources directly contradict each other with no resolution
|
||||
- The requester's specific context (industry, scale, constraints) is not addressed
|
||||
- You have secondary reporting but no primary source for a key fact
|
||||
- Your confidence assessment would be "low" on a central finding
|
||||
|
||||
**Time-boxing rule**: For a standard research question, allocate effort roughly as:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Quick facts: 2-4 searches, 1-2 minutes
|
||||
Standard question: 6-12 searches, 5-10 minutes
|
||||
Deep dive: 15-30 searches, 20-40 minutes
|
||||
```
|
||||
If you exceed 2x the expected searches without convergence, stop and report what you have with explicit gaps noted.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Assessment vs Deep Dive
|
||||
|
||||
Not every question deserves a full 5-phase research process. Use this decision matrix:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Quick assessment (skip to synthesis fast):
|
||||
✓ Question has a single factual answer
|
||||
✓ Authoritative primary source exists and is accessible
|
||||
✓ Low stakes — wrong answer has minimal consequences
|
||||
✓ Requester wants speed over thoroughness
|
||||
Example: "What version of Python dropped GIL?"
|
||||
→ Check python.org docs/PEPs, answer in one search.
|
||||
|
||||
Standard research (full 5-phase process):
|
||||
✓ Comparative or analytical question
|
||||
✓ Multiple valid perspectives exist
|
||||
✓ Answer will inform a decision
|
||||
✓ Moderate stakes
|
||||
Example: "React vs Svelte for our new dashboard?"
|
||||
→ Full decomposition, multi-source, synthesis needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Deep dive (extended research with formal deliverable):
|
||||
✓ High-stakes decision (architecture, vendor, strategy)
|
||||
✓ Conflicting information is likely
|
||||
✓ Historical context and trend analysis needed
|
||||
✓ Requester expects a report they can share with others
|
||||
Example: "Should we move from AWS to multi-cloud?"
|
||||
→ Multiple sub-questions, 10+ sources, formal report.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Source Reuse Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Not every question starts from zero. Build efficiency by recognizing reusable sources.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tier 1 — Canonical references (always check first for their domain)**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Programming languages: Official docs, language spec, release notes
|
||||
Cloud services: AWS/GCP/Azure docs, status pages, pricing pages
|
||||
Security: CVE databases, vendor advisories, NIST NVD
|
||||
Statistics: Official census/survey data, World Bank, OECD
|
||||
Companies: SEC filings (EDGAR), official IR pages
|
||||
Open source: GitHub repo, CHANGELOG, issue tracker
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Tier 2 — High-signal aggregators (good starting points)**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Technology trends: ThoughtWorks Radar, Stack Overflow survey, TIOBE
|
||||
Security incidents: CISA advisories, Krebs on Security
|
||||
Academic papers: Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, arXiv
|
||||
Industry analysis: Gartner (with bias caveat), a16z, Sequoia
|
||||
Developer experience: JetBrains survey, GitHub Octoverse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Tier 3 — Practitioner sources (for real-world validation)**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Engineering blogs: Company engineering blogs (Netflix, Uber, Stripe, Discord)
|
||||
Conference talks: Recorded talks from Strange Loop, QCon, KubeCon
|
||||
Community discussion: Hacker News (comments often more valuable than articles),
|
||||
Reddit (r/programming, r/devops, domain-specific subs)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Anti-patterns to avoid**:
|
||||
- Do not reuse a source across topics just because it scored well once — re-evaluate CRAAP for the new topic
|
||||
- Do not treat aggregator rankings (Gartner Magic Quadrant, G2 reviews) as primary evidence — they are influenced by vendor spending
|
||||
- Do not assume a source's authority transfers across domains — a security vendor's blog is authoritative on threats but not on database performance
