SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Before investing in a product, teams need a grounded picture of the market: who the direct and indirect competitors are, which similar projects failed and why, how large the opportunity is, and where differentiation is possible. Doing this manually is slow and often produces unsourced, unreliable claims. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-branch Graph-of-Thought methodology: decomposes research into direct competitors, substitutes, failed projects, trends, and market sizing, then aggregates, self-audits, and selects top insights. - Source-backed findings with confidence labels: every fact carries a source and a reliability marker (confirmed, probable, or needs verification), with explicit TAM/SAM/SOM calculation methods. - Pipeline mode: reads a product brief as input and writes a structured market report artifact, including executive summary, risks, gaps, and recommendations. - Use Case: Given a brief for an AI unit-economics assistant for early-stage founders, produce a full market report covering competitors like Causal and Runway, failed predecessors, market sizing, and positioning recommendations. ## Quick Start Run market research on my product brief and produce a sourced market report with competitors, trends, and TAM/SAM/SOM estimates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run market research from a product brief?▼

Provide a product brief describing the product, problem, and audience. The skill decomposes the research into five branches (competitors, substitutes, failures, trends, market size), executes multilingual web searches, and writes a structured market report artifact.

How to estimate TAM, SAM, and SOM for a new product?▼

TAM is the total market for the problem, estimated top-down from industry reports or bottom-up from customer count times average spend. SAM is the reachable portion given your model and geography, and SOM is a realistic 1-3 year share. Each estimate must show its calculation method and confidence label.

Does market research require web search access?▼

Web search is the expected tool for verifying facts across sources. If search is unavailable, the skill falls back to its own knowledge but marks the entire report as unverified, so conclusions should be rechecked before strategic decisions.

What does the market research report include?▼

The report contains an executive summary, competitor tables with strengths and weaknesses, failed project patterns, trends, TAM/SAM/SOM with methods, gaps and opportunities, risks with mitigations, top-5 insights, a source list, and a limitations section.

What are the limitations of desk market research?▼

Desk research structures and accelerates analysis but does not replace primary customer interviews or data verification. Figures should be rechecked before major strategic decisions, and the report explicitly lists what could not be found and where bias may exist.
