**Research** is working memory — comparisons, options, open questions. When findings stabilize, synthesize into a [handbook](/zajlibrary/navigation/library-shelves/resources/reference/learn-handbooks/) or a single [guide](/zajlibrary/navigation/library-shelves/resources/reference/learn-guides/). Keep sources and dates in frontmatter `tags` / prose so facts stay verifiable.
