- Status: Current. Last verified 2026-10-21.
- Applies to: AskDona SaaS platform (web application). Not the planned AskDona API, which is a separate offering and may differ.

## Status

- **[Outdated — marked 2026-10-21]** Deep Research is an earlier GFLOPS initiative. The facts below describe that work accurately, but it is not GFLOPS's current focus. GFLOPS's current direction for AskDona is Assessment Science, Evidence-first AI and Human-in-the-loop Assessment, centred on AskDona Assessment (formerly Batch Assessment) (see https://askdona.com/ai/current-direction.md).
  - **Updated (21 Oct 2026):** Deep Research is no longer an earlier initiative. It keeps its name. It is a current AskDona capability, listed under Capabilities on the website; AskDona Assessment (formerly Batch Assessment) remains at the centre of GFLOPS's current direction (see https://askdona.com/ai/current-direction.md).
