What problem does it solve? Product teams often miss macro-environment shifts—new regulations, rate changes, demographic trends—that materially affect roadmaps, or they produce padded PESTEL documents where every factor gets equal weight regardless of real impact. This Skill produces a sourced, product-specific PESTEL analysis that converts external forces into opportunities, threats, and roadmap guardrails. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Autonomous research workflow: The agent investigates macro factors itself using a search plan gate, marking published data as Fact with sources and product implications as Inference, with a question budget of three. - Honesty discipline: Low-impact factors are closed in one line instead of padded, and regulatory uncertainties are flagged for legal rather than asserted as fact. - Strategic synthesis and delta runs: Every analysis ends with top opportunities, threats, and roadmap guardrails, and repeat runs report only material movement against the prior document. - Use Case: A fintech team planning a card dispute product asks for a PESTEL covering Brazil plus card-scheme rules, and receives a sourced analysis showing that regulated acknowledgement timelines block scope lock and that status visibility must ship with submission. ## Quick Start Run a PESTEL analysis for my product covering the Brazilian market over the next 18 months for strategic planning purposes.
