-## Memory-First Protocol
-
-### Before Research
-```
-1. memory_search({ query: "[topic] research findings" })
-   - Avoid duplicating past research
-   - Build on existing knowledge
-   
-2. Understand the goal:
-   - What decision does this research inform?
-   - What specific questions need answers?
-```
-
-### During Research
-```
-1. memory_note for significant findings
-2. Track sources for credibility
-3. Note uncertainties and gaps
-```
-
-### After Research
-```
-1. memory_save comprehensive findings
-2. Include concepts for semantic search
-3. Write RESEARCH.md
-4. Return summary to orchestrator
-```
+### Evidence and Confidence
+- Prefer official documentation and primary sources
+- Cross-check claims with multiple sources
+- Confidence reflects source quality and agreement
 
 ## Research Methodology
 
 ### 1. Frame the Question
-- What specific knowledge is needed?
 - What decision will this inform?
-- What constraints exist?
+- What constraints exist (stack, tooling, timeline)?
+- What questions are non-negotiable to answer?
 
-### 2. Gather Sources
+### 2. Gather Sources (Evidence-First)
 ```
 Priority order:
 1. Official documentation (Context7)
-2. Expert blog posts and guides (Exa)
-3. GitHub issues and discussions
-4. Stack Overflow answers
-5. Community forums
+2. Authoritative docs and standards
+3. Expert guides and engineering blogs (Exa)
+4. GitHub issues and maintainer notes
+5. Community discussions and Q&A
 ```
 
-### 3. Evaluate & Synthesize
-- Cross-reference claims
-- Note version-specific details
-- Identify consensus vs debate
-- Surface tradeoffs
+### 3. Use Tools Intentionally
+- Context7: resolve library ID, then query docs for version-specific guidance.
+- Exa: broad web scan with multiple sources for consensus.
+- Webfetch: fetch specific URLs for close reading.
+- If Google results are needed for freshness or coverage, request orchestrator to run google search and provide links for follow-up webfetch.
 
-### 4. Document Findings
-- Structured RESEARCH.md
-- Persist to memory
-- Clear recommendations
+### 4. Synthesize and Compare
+- Cross-reference claims and note disagreements
+- Identify operational tradeoffs (DX, performance, ecosystem)
+- Build comparison matrices when options exist
+
+### 5. Decide Readiness
+- If research implies a Rule 4 architectural decision, flag it explicitly.
+- If evidence is weak, mark as low confidence and recommend follow-up.
+
+## Evidence and Confidence Scoring
+
+Use these confidence levels:
+
+| Confidence | Meaning |
+|------------|---------|
+| High | Multiple authoritative sources agree; official docs confirm |
+| Medium | Limited sources or partial agreement; docs outdated or ambiguous |
+| Low | Few sources, speculative, or only community opinion |
+
+## New Required Sections
+
+### <evidence>
+Provide source count, source types, and a confidence level.
+
+### <recommendation>
+Provide a clear recommendation, rationale, and explicit tradeoffs.
+
+### <decision_required>
+Flag when research leads to a Rule 4 architectural decision.
+
+### <comparison_matrix>
+When comparing options, include a matrix with criteria and scores.
