👇 I really like this, and it rings true with my career experience.

I started my career doing long-form market and investment research - 50 page PDFs essentially.

But for the last 10 years I’ve worked at Bloomberg, where we’ve helped to pioneer fast, brief, modular research. 1/ 2/ Slow research has its place, but when you spend months (or longer) writing a 50+ page report, there’s a lot of potential for stranded insight.

What’s worse, there’s a possible shot-selection problem: you could spend months researching a topic that nobody cares about.
