Queryable Research Bundles (QRB): A Portable Format for Interrogable Research Artifacts

A Queryable Research Bundle is a single-file HTML container that carries a rendered research document, its underlying data, structured provenance metadata, an interactive thematic navigation layer, and a reader-facing Ask-this-article panel grounded on the document's own prose. The format addresses a specific gap in the distribution of policy-research and executive-education content: the document remains accessible after publication, but the questions it could answer at the moment of publication go silent. A Queryable Research Bundle keeps the document interrogable for the lifetime of its substantive relevance, with answers traced to the section of origin. The method is open and reproducible.
