Scope
Confirm entity, absolute UTC dates, timezone, filters, metric, and unit match the intended question.
Independent prompt planner · Source checked August 8, 2026
Turn an Internet question into an auditable research request
Define the entity, absolute time window, metric, comparison, and strongest allowed conclusion before opening Radar Researcher. The output is a planning aid, not a Radar result.
Prompt outline
For Internet disruption in country, region, ASN, or domain, analyze HTTP traffic and recorded outage events from 2026-08-01 00:00 UTC through 2026-08-08 23:59 UTC. State metric definitions, endpoint parameters, missing data, and retrieval time. Describe the observed pattern; do not infer cause.
Evidence to preserve
- Exact prompt and retrieval time
- API endpoint and parameters
- Chart or underlying result
- Researcher trace and caveats
- Matched baseline definition
- Independent attribution sources
This tool does not access Radar, validate data, establish causality, check licensing, or create a permanent archive.
Continue by research task
Beta access and limits
Understand scope, history, traces, charts, sharing, and licensing boundaries.
Outage analysis workflow
Separate observations, comparisons, attribution evidence, and unknowns.
Code Mode architecture
Trace the Worker, Durable Object, model, MCP, API, and chart path.
WebMCP browser agents
Review imperative and declarative tools, compatibility, and authority.
Evidence gates
Review the result before writing the conclusion
Source
Inspect the Radar endpoint, parameters, returned data, chart reference, and retrieval time in the trace.
Baseline
Use a matched comparison period and identify seasonality, missing observations, or measurement changes.
Attribution
Keep observed patterns separate from cause; corroborate with routing, operator, official, local, and expert evidence.
Archive
Preserve permitted evidence outside a shared Researcher link when retention beyond its 30-day expiry is required.
Rights
Check current Radar API terms, CC BY-NC 4.0 attribution, privacy policy, and the intended commercial context.
Radar research planner questions
It creates a local prompt outline and evidence checklist from your topic, entity scope, time window, metric family, and conclusion boundary.
No. It runs in the browser and does not query Radar, generate charts, inspect an outage, save a conversation, or access a Cloudflare account.
No. Radar observations can establish patterns in Cloudflare-vantage data. Causal attribution requires independent, source-specific evidence and expert review.
No. Cloudflare says shared links expire after 30 days. Preserve required evidence, within applicable terms and policy, in a durable research record.
