The four steps
The article breaks the process into four stages. First, discover papers that might matter. Then triage them — decide which are worth a closer look. Skim the ones that pass the triage, and only then engage deeply with the few that survive. It's a system built for volume, not for reading everything cover to cover. The idea is to spend the most time on the few papers that actually move your work forward.

Why crypto analysts should care
Crypto research is a similar problem. Thousands of whitepapers, token models, and governance proposals land every week. Most are noise. A structured triage step — deciding quickly whether a project is worth a deeper read — could cut down on the time wasted on low-quality or outright fraudulent projects. The workflow doesn't promise to spot scams, but it forces a discipline that's often missing in a space where hype outruns diligence. A quick skim of a project's tokenomics, team, and code can filter out a lot of bad bets before they cost you.
