Research is fundamentally about finding connections. Whether you're conducting a literature review, investigating a story, or analyzing a complex system, your job is to synthesize information from multiple sources and uncover the patterns that others have missed.

The problem? Traditional research tools—reference managers, note-taking apps, spreadsheets—are designed for storing information, not for seeing how it connects. You end up with folders full of PDFs and pages of notes, but no way to visualize the relationships between sources, concepts, and findings.

Visual research organization changes this. By mapping your research on an investigation board, you can see the structure of a field, identify gaps in the literature, and discover connections that linear notes would hide.
