# Research Planning and ULURP

Read [../query-builtgraph/references/live-mcp-playbook.md](../query-builtgraph/references/live-mcp-playbook.md)
before live research.

## Workflow

1. Define the application, geography, milestone window, public status, and as-of date.
2. Resolve the application and preserve its project, environmental-review, parcel, and building
   identifiers, including conflicts between returned sections.
3. Establish filed facts, action types, phase, timeline, revision cycles, public-review movement,
   certification state, and affected buildings.
4. Inspect named applicants, representatives, attorneys, consultants, and relevant environmental
   obligations. Distinguish the form preparer from specialist scopes.
5. When monitoring recent movement, retain sync date, covered universe, records not yet resolvable,
   and the difference between applications and milestone passages.

## Output

Lead with the application's present observed phase and latest movement. Then show proposal facts,
timeline, affected properties, named people and organizations, environmental context, identifier or
field conflicts, coverage, and the next material milestone.

A holder not named in inspected evidence does not establish an available commission or active
procurement. An applicant representative is not necessarily the developer, and a planning filing
does not establish that construction has begun.
