BlokNotes for researchers & analysts
From forty open tabs to one defensible conclusion
Serious research has a shape: a question, evidence, an argument, a conclusion. Browser tabs and scattered highlights don't hold that shape — and when someone asks 'says who?', the answer is twenty minutes of searching.
BlokNotes gives investigations structure: research projects with explicit questions and scope, sources with credibility ratings, findings typed as facts, insights or recommendations with confidence levels — and an AI assistant that proposes, while you decide.
The problems this solves
Evidence without provenance
Every finding links to its source, every source carries a credibility rating and your notes. Claims stay traceable from conclusion back to origin.
Synthesis as a heroic act
The status flow — collecting, reviewing, synthesizing, complete — turns synthesis from a mountain into a stage. Confirmed findings are your outline.
AI output you can't trust blindly
AI-proposed findings arrive as proposals with confidence levels, not facts. You confirm or reject each one — judgment stays human and auditable.

Can I manage multiple investigations at once?
Yes — each research project carries its own sources, findings and status, and the research list shows where every investigation stands.
Does the AI write my conclusions?
Only if you ask it to draft. Its structural role is proposing findings from sources — which stay marked as proposed until you confirm them.
