Automated Consensus Weekly Research Digest
Every Monday, WebRun opens Consensus, runs your saved research questions, reads the top papers and the consensus meter for each, posts a summary of the findings to Microsoft Teams, and books a short review slot on Google Calendar for the team to discuss what changed.
How do I keep a research question's evidence base current every week?
WebRun runs your saved research questions through Consensus every Monday, reading the top papers and the consensus meter for each, and posts a findings summary to Microsoft Teams flagging anything that shifted since last week. It books a short review slot on Google Calendar too, so evidence-based questions get revisited on a schedule instead of once and forgotten.
- Evidence gets revisited weekly instead of going stale after one search
- Shifts in the research consensus get flagged, not missed
- A review slot is booked automatically ahead of planning meetings

Does it write conclusions or make decisions for the team?
No. WebRun only summarizes what Consensus found. Interpreting the evidence and making a decision stays with your team in the review slot.
How current is the research?
Whatever Consensus itself has indexed at the time of the run, refreshed with each weekly check.
Can I add or remove research questions it tracks?
Yes. Update your saved questions in Consensus and the next run picks up the change automatically.
