"Personally, RNG's hate me with a passion, so when I'm faced with such insanity like having to research a specific NPC you have to work hard to get in a specific mission and then... there's a chance you get a useless result and have to DO THAT AGAIN 20 or 30 times, I'm just like NOPE. NOPE. NO EFFING WAY."
This is misinformation. Rare captures usually only have a handful of rare researches and usually no more than one unique (engineers could be said to be an exception except they're not exactly rare). If you *don't* savescum research early and devote some of research effort to interrogate common prisoners (commonly referred to as 'thinning out the lists), you won't have this issue of having to redo difficult and rare missions. Ie. you propose a solution to a problem you have created yourself. And this is not even issue of IRL time, as you are bound to capture many enemies anyway; it's an issue of cheating early to be stronger faster in game-time terms... I mean it's not my place to say 'savescumming bad' just don't use such misleading justifications.
Next... you write "After 2 mandatory defenses...". I have no idea where you got that from. They're neither 2 or mandatory.
Next... it's actually very unlikely to get the Smooth Captive early. To get 'The Academy' topic just interrogate a Nurse (and it's guaranteed)...
Next, Humanist Leader... apparenly by this point you get savescumming to such routine that you didn't notice simple fact: Yes, he can give you Origins of Dr. X as a random, but if you interrogated him and got a different result, the topic is unlocked for your research anyway...
In any case I'm not criticizing your research methods, and this is immensely useful reference; just I wanted to point out arguable advice.

Very much appreciated. I was waiting for something like that for a long time. Now I know what I missed during previous runs.
