Strange, I had predictable results all along but this week it's turned into a lottery. I see your frustration now, and can only conclude that over working a designer on many projects affects the research values. There's no other reason for it to drop, it never did before and my only difference is three extra projects.

Like James i have experienced this before previously. I assumed it was because i had one designer and he was at his limits.

I think there is definitely strong degradation of research with time. Short time. If you don't keep the values up and invest staff, they drop on their own.

But we still don't know why we need to keep them up, what is their use in the calcs?

We really should be told now, its week 3.

How long do I need to wait for my research levels to rise?
How can I know if it is just maximum for my team?

That my friend is the 20 million dollar question... :(

The rise rate depends on what level you are starting on and how much manpower you are using, at least that seems to be the case for me.

As for maximum research level id always assumed it would be similar to your designers stats combined. i have absolutely no proof of this though sadly.

i find it rises to unsure pretty quickly - within a few days but then takes considerably longer to go higher. - i have yet to go higher than good - so that must be my teams max

I saw my research levels rise to good some weeks ago. Now they all have dropped to okay (without any development), even the ones that I'm researching right now. There is no logic in this that I can understand. Is it relative to the best in the game or something?

I managed to get to good on one part once but it dropped back down even though i was still researching...

If you are not researching however i guess it will drop as you are not considered to have the latest up to date technological information.
