+# FAN Research Plan Template
+
+Use this template when creating a new FAN research workflow in the Librarian notebook.
+
+---
+
+## [Goal Statement]
+
+**Research Question:** [Specific, measurable question — e.g., "Determine the parents of Leto Paulus Atreides using Arrakeen Province records 10150-10175"]
+
+**Subject:** [Primary person being researched]
+
+**Time Period:** [Date range for research]
+
+**Location:** [County, state, or broader area]
+
+**Finish Line:** [What constitutes completion — e.g., "Question answered with GPS-level evidence" or "All identified record sets searched and question documented as open"]
+
+## Target List
+
+| Name | Relationship to Subject | How Identified | Notes |
+|------|------------------------|----------------|-------|
+| [Subject] | Self | — | |
+| [Name] | [wife/son/neighbor/etc.] | [Source where identified] | |
+
+*Update this list as research progresses. New names from documents go here with source of identification.*
+
+## Strategy
+
+### Record Sets to Search
+
+| Priority | Record Set | Repository | Date Range | Status |
+|----------|-----------|------------|------------|--------|
+| 1 | [e.g., Personal property tax lists] | [e.g., FamilySearch Film 2024561] | [1780-1800] | [Not started / In progress / Complete] |
+| 2 | | | | |
+| 3 | | | | |
+
+### Known Access Restrictions
+- [e.g., FamilySearch images restricted — need affiliate library or in-person access]
+
+### Search Order Rationale
+[Brief note on why this order — chronological? Expected yield? Availability?]
+
+## Execution Log
+
+### [Date] — [Record Set / Action]
+
+**Searched:** [Collection, pages/images, date range covered]
+
+**Found:**
+- [Finding with citation]
+
+**Not Found:**
+- [Expected record/person not present — negative evidence]
+
+**New Targets Added:**
+- [Name — reason for addition]
+
+**Coverage Note:** [Record what was covered so future sessions don't re-search]
+
+---
+
+*Copy the "Execution Log" section for each research step.*
+
+## Status
+
+**Current Status:** [Active / Paused / Complete / Dead End]
+
+**Last Updated:** [Date]
+
+**GPS Assessment:** [If question answered — which GPS elements are satisfied?]
+
+**Council Review:** [If escalated — date and outcome]
