Deep Research

Growth-focused deep research with web search and MCP integration.

Use This Skill When

• Researching industry growth benchmarks or conversion baselines.
• Conducting competitive analysis on growth strategies.
• Finding market data to justify MDE or experiment hypotheses.
• Gathering best practices for funnel optimization.

Workflow

1. Define research question and required evidence type.
2. Select tool: web_search (quick), /research CLI (structured), or Deep Research MCP (comprehensive).
3. Execute search with specific, targeted queries.
4. Evaluate source quality (prefer peer-reviewed, official reports, reputable benchmarks).
5. Synthesize findings with citations and save to files.

Deliverables

• report.md: research summary with cited sources.
• results/research-findings.md: structured findings and evidence.

Quality Gates

• Research question is clearly defined before search.
• At least 2 independent sources corroborate key findings.
• Sources are cited with URLs and access dates.
• Findings distinguish between correlation and causation.
• Benchmark data includes industry, region, and time period context.

If any gate fails: identify the issue, fix, and re-validate.

Gotchas

• SaaS benchmark reports vary widely by industry and company stage. Always note the benchmark's cohort definition.
• Competitor growth claims are often cherry-picked. Cross-reference with independent sources (e.g., SimilarWeb, app store data).
• "Best practice" without data is opinion. Require at least one quantitative source for any recommendation.

Validation Loop

1. Execute research and compile findings
2. Check: ≥2 sources, citations present, correlation vs causation noted
3. If any check fails → expand search or add sources
4. Findings ready for use in experiment-design or funnel-analysis
