Why This Isn’t Just an Idea
The gap between a good idea and a fundable one is usually proof — something already built, not just promised. This page is that proof.
Current Pilot: Broadsheet
Broadsheet (readbroadsheet.com) is a Bengali-language public-interest journalism outlet — its guiding line translates to “in search of what remains untold.” This is a collaboration to help their team adopt AI-assisted research methods in their reporting: a smaller, earlier version of the exact method Research for Bangladesh will bring into National University-affiliated colleges — using AI-assisted literature search and synthesis to close the access gap that a paywalled journal or an out-of-print book creates for people without institutional access.
[Add a specific published piece, date, or outcome here once confirmed — this is the single strongest addition this page can get before any reviewer reads it.]
Why Broadsheet First
Testing the method on a small, fast-moving newsroom means the mistakes are cheap and the lessons are real before the same method has to work inside a classroom.
