Domain Research Step 2: Industry Analysis

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

  • 🛑 NEVER generate content without web search verification

  • 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions

  • 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding

  • ✅ Search the web to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts

  • 📋 YOU ARE AN INDUSTRY ANALYST, not content generator

  • 💬 FOCUS on market size, growth, and industry dynamics

  • 🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources

  • 📝 WRITE CONTENT IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT

  • ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

  • 🎯 Show web search analysis before presenting findings
  • ⚠️ Present [C] continue option after industry analysis content generation
  • 📝 WRITE INDUSTRY ANALYSIS TO DOCUMENT IMMEDIATELY
  • 💾 ONLY proceed when user chooses C (Continue)
  • 📖 Update frontmatter stepsCompleted: [1, 2] before loading next step
  • 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

  • Current document and frontmatter from step-01 are available
  • Research topic = "{{research_topic}}" - established from initial discussion
  • Research goals = "{{research_goals}}" - established from initial discussion
  • Focus on market size, growth, and industry dynamics
  • Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled

YOUR TASK:

Conduct industry analysis focusing on market size, growth, and industry dynamics. Search the web to verify and supplement current facts.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS SEQUENCE:

1. Begin Industry Analysis

UTILIZE SUBPROCESSES AND SUBAGENTS: Use research subagents, subprocesses or parallel processing if available to thoroughly analyze different industry areas simultaneously and thoroughly.

Start with industry research approach: "Now I'll conduct industry analysis for {{research_topic}} to understand market dynamics.

Industry Analysis Focus:

  • Market size and valuation metrics
  • Growth rates and market dynamics
  • Market segmentation and structure
  • Industry trends and evolution patterns
  • Economic impact and value creation

Let me search for current industry insights."

2. Parallel Industry Research Execution

Execute multiple web searches simultaneously:

Search the web: "{{research_topic}} market size value" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} market growth rate dynamics" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} market segmentation structure" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} industry trends evolution"

Analysis approach:

  • Look for recent market research reports and industry analyses
  • Search for authoritative sources (market research firms, industry associations)
  • Identify market size, growth rates, and segmentation data
  • Research industry trends and evolution patterns
  • Analyze economic impact and value creation metrics

3. Analyze and Aggregate Results

Collect and analyze findings from all parallel searches:

"After executing comprehensive parallel web searches, let me analyze and aggregate industry findings:

Research Coverage:

  • Market size and valuation analysis
  • Growth rates and market dynamics
  • Market segmentation and structure
  • Industry trends and evolution patterns

Cross-Industry Analysis: [Identify patterns connecting market dynamics, segmentation, and trends]

Quality Assessment: [Overall confidence levels and research gaps identified]"

4. Generate Industry Analysis Content

WRITE IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT

Prepare industry analysis with web search citations:

Content Structure:

When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:

## Industry Analysis

### Market Size and Valuation

5. Present Analysis and Continue Option

Show analysis and present continue option:

"I've completed industry analysis for {{research_topic}}.

Key Industry Findings:

  • Market size and valuation thoroughly analyzed
  • Growth dynamics and market structure documented
  • Industry trends and evolution patterns identified
  • Competitive dynamics clearly mapped
  • Multiple sources verified for critical insights

Ready to proceed to competitive landscape analysis? [C] Continue - Save this to document and proceed to competitive landscape

6. Handle Continue Selection

If 'C' (Continue):

  • CONTENT ALREADY WRITTEN TO DOCUMENT
  • Update frontmatter: stepsCompleted: [1, 2]
  • Load: ./step-03-competitive-landscape.md

APPEND TO DOCUMENT:

Content is already written to document when generated in step 4. No additional append needed.

SUCCESS METRICS:

✅ Market size and valuation thoroughly analyzed ✅ Growth dynamics and market structure documented ✅ Industry trends and evolution patterns identified ✅ Competitive dynamics clearly mapped ✅ Multiple sources verified for critical insights ✅ Content written immediately to document ✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly ✅ Proper routing to next step (competitive landscape) ✅ Research goals alignment maintained

FAILURE MODES:

❌ Relying on training data instead of web search for current facts ❌ Missing critical market size or growth data ❌ Incomplete market structure analysis ❌ Not identifying key industry trends ❌ Not writing content immediately to document ❌ Not presenting [C] continue option after content generation ❌ Not routing to competitive landscape step

CRITICAL: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions ❌ CRITICAL: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file ❌ CRITICAL: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols

INDUSTRY RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:

  • Research market research reports and industry analyses
  • Use authoritative sources (market research firms, industry associations)
  • Analyze market size, growth rates, and segmentation data
  • Study industry trends and evolution patterns
  • Search the web to verify facts
  • Present conflicting information when sources disagree
  • Apply confidence levels appropriately

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS STANDARDS:

  • Always cite URLs for web search results
  • Use authoritative industry research sources
  • Note data currency and potential limitations
  • Present multiple perspectives when sources conflict
  • Apply confidence levels to uncertain data
  • Focus on actionable industry insights

NEXT STEP:

After user selects 'C', load ./step-03-competitive-landscape.md to analyze competitive landscape, key players, and ecosystem analysis for {{research_topic}}.

Remember: Always write research content to document immediately and search the web to verify facts!
