Journey fit
Idea research is where literature review saves you from building on shaky assumptions; the same tool resurfaces for docs and authoritative content later. Research subphase matches discovery and synthesis of scholarly sources before build commitments.
How it compares
Scholarly search MCP via Litra.ai, not a general web SERP or EDINET financial connector.
