Academic-style synthesis:
- Key papers/works and their findings
- Areas of consensus
- Areas of debate
- Gaps in current knowledge
- Research methodology critique

### 4. Trend Analysis
- Historical trajectory
- Current momentum indicators
- Leading vs lagging signals

When time is short:
- What is it? (1 paragraph)
