⏱️ Estimated Duration

Approximately 30 minutes to complete the full study process

Let's begin by identifying and building our expert personas to gain comprehensive insights from different perspectives.

We've found some relevant personas, but let's supplement them with additional personas that specifically focus on offshore structures, asset-based borrowing, and political influence to ensure comprehensive coverage of our research topics.

Now, let's build personas based on the social media research data:

Excellent! We now have a diverse group of personas representing various perspectives on our research topic. Let's select the most relevant ones to interview, ensuring we cover different angles of the tax system, wealth distribution, and policy formation.

Now, let's conduct interviews with these personas to gather insights on billionaire tax avoidance strategies, the comparative tax burden with middle-class taxpayers, and the political economy aspects of tax policy formation.

Let's gather additional information through web searches to complement our interview insights with current data and examples.

Let's try a different search query to get more specific data:

Let's search for more information on lobbying and political influence on tax policies:

Now that we've gathered comprehensive information from both our expert interviews and web searches, let's save a summary of our study methodology before generating the final report:

Now, let's generate our comprehensive report on billionaire tax avoidance strategies and their broader implications:
