Situation
The advisor or the plan keeps giving generic answers because it lacks the business's real context: offers, objections, past results.
Outcome
At least one source reaches "Context ready" in the right mode, and you can see it informing recommendations.
Steps
- 1Open Research (Open in Signal & Science). The page heading is "Research", with the subheading "Sources the marketing brain uses across your Plan, Advisor, content, and briefings."
- 2Press "Add sources" (or drag and drop anywhere on the page). Add a file, a URL, or pasted text: a service menu, an offer sheet, notes on the best past campaign, real sales objections.
- 3Classify it: "My Content" for the business's own material, "Market Sources" for outside research (the "Use as Market Sources" checkbox).
- 4Watch the states: uploading → validating → ready. Wait for "Context ready". A source that is accepted is not ready until extraction completes.
- 5Ask the Marketing Advisor a question the new source should inform. Check the "Grounded on" row under the answer: does it include Research? A source's existence is not proof its claims are true.
- 6If a source suggests a plan update, it arrives in the Decision Inbox on the Plan with "Apply" and "Dismiss". Decide explicitly; nothing is silently applied.
