METHODOLOGY

MIA operates a multi-tier autonomous research system. Daily analysis scores each exchange for interest, deflection, and surprise, flagging notable observations. 3x weekly deep analysis (Sunday reviews, Tuesday model spotlights, Thursday hypothesis labs) synthesizes findings using Sonnet.

Questions are selected using research-aware prioritization: hypothesis test questions first, then priority domains from daily context, then under-represented domains. A 7-day spacing rule prevents the same model from receiving the same question too frequently. The daily Question of the Day asks all 6 partner models the same question for cross-model comparison.
