# Primary Market Industry Research Report Generate professional industry research reports in an institutional primary-market (PE/VC) research style. ## Reference Source - **Type**: Uploaded artifact (PDF) - **Reference File Type**: PDF - **Languages**: Chinese or English (auto-detect from user query; default to user's language) ## Supported Outputs - PDF (default) - DOCX - PPTX (if explicitly requested) **Default output**: PDF. If user explicitly requests DOCX or PPTX, honor that request. ## Workflow 1. **Understand the research scope** from user query: target industry, sub-topics, depth, page count 2. **Determine report style** based on user preference or task context: - **Style A (Deep Discussion)**: Opinion-heavy, TMT/tech focus, numbered chapters (01, 02...), no TOC - **Style B (Traditional Sector)**: Data-heavy, many charts and tables, TOC with multi-level numbering 3. **Plan content structure** using the appropriate structure contract (see references) 4. **Research and gather data** using web search and data source tools as needed 5. **Review investment & financing history** for the sector: search for key funding rounds, deal sizes, lead investors, IPO/exit events, and capital flow trends in the target industry. Sources include Crunchbase, PitchBook, CB Insights, IT桔子, 烯牛数据, and public deal announcements 6. **Generate the report** following the style and structure contracts precisely 7. **Review for completeness**: ensure all exhibits are numbered, sources cited, and formatting consistent ## Style Selection Guide Choose the report style based on context: | Indicator | Use Style A (Deep Discussion) | Use Style B (Traditional) | |-----------|------------------------------|---------------------------| | Sector | TMT, AI, Software, SaaS | Consumer, Healthcare, Industrials, Materials | | Tone | Opinion-forward, thesis-driven | Data-driven, objective | | Charts | Moderate (native charts, benchmark tables for AI research) | Dense (pie charts, bar charts, line charts) | | TOC | No | Yes, with 3-level hierarchy + dot-leaders + page numbers | | Chapter numbers | 01, 02, 03... in red/dark-red | 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2.1... in black | | Page count | 15-25 pages typical | 30-60 pages typical | For detailed style rules, see [references/style_contract.md](references/style_contract.md). ## Structure Templates Two primary structure patterns are available. See [references/structure_contract.md](references/structure_contract.md) for full details. ### Style A Structure (Deep Discussion) ``` Cover Page: [White background] [Institution logo (top-right): icon + institution name (bilingual)] [Main title: bold KaiTi, left-aligned, large, dark-red accent underline] [Author line: "Cr.: [Author Name]"] [Date line: "Date: YYYY-Mon"] [QR code (right side)] Executive Summary (~1 page) [Bordered/quoted paragraph block] 01 [Chapter Title] [Section Heading in red/dark-red KaiTi] [Subsection Heading in red/dark-red KaiTi] ``` ### Style B Structure (Traditional Sector) ``` Cover Page: [White background, ultra-minimal] [Full title: centered, KaiTi, large] [Institution logo: centered below title] [Institution name: centered below logo] [Date: centered, bottom area (YYYY.MM format)] Table of Contents (page 2-3) [Title "目录": centered, large character spacing] [1 [Main Chapter]..................p3] [ 1.1 [Section]...................p3] Content Pages: [Header: report title centered + horizontal rule below] [Footer: page number] ``` ## Typography Strategy ### For Chinese-language reports - **Headings**: KaiTi (楷体) — calligraphic, distinctive institutional feel - **Style A body**: SimSun (宋体) — formal serif tone - **Style B body**: STKaitiSC-Regular (华文楷体) — consistent with heading font family - **Latin text**: Times New Roman (body + italic for sources), Arial Bold (header emphasis) - **Chart labels**: DengXian (等线) or Calibri for English labels - All document text paths use CJK-capable fonts consistently ### For English-language reports - **Headings**: Georgia or Times New Roman — institutional serif feel - **Body text**: Times New Roman or Garamond — formal, readable - **Chart labels / tables**: Calibri or Arial - **Header emphasis**: Arial Bold ### General - When exact reference fonts unavailable, prefer fonts from the same visual family - For bilingual content, ensure CJK and Latin fonts are harmonized in weight and size ## Exhibit Numbering - **Figures**: Sequential numbering with caption below — "图 N" (Chinese) or "Figure N" (English) - **Tables**: Sequential numbering with caption above — "表 N" (Chinese) or "Table N" (English) - Data source note below each exhibit: "数据来源：xxx" (Chinese) or "Source: xxx" (English) - Reset numbering for each major section in Style B; continuous in Style A ## Source Citation Rules - Every data point, statistic, or claim must have a source - Inline: cite source parenthetically or in footnote - Exhibits: "数据来源：" (Chinese) or "Source:" (English) below each figure/table - Preferred sources: government databases, industry associations, public company filings, reputable analyst reports, authoritative media ## Key Quality Checks - [ ] Cover page matches selected style (Style A or B) precisely - [ ] Color palette matches selected style — NO custom dark themes or modern gradients - [ ] All chapter/section numbering is consistent and matches selected convention - [ ] TOC has dot-leaders AND page numbers (Style B only) - [ ] Running header with horizontal rule on all content pages (Style B) - [ ] All figures and tables are numbered and captioned - [ ] All data points have source attribution - [ ] Typography applied consistently per language (CJK fonts for Chinese reports, serif fonts for English reports) - [ ] Tables have clean borders: no vertical rules, header row has top/bottom borders, table has top/bottom thick borders (Style B) - [ ] Institution/publisher identity present (logo area or header text) - [ ] No placeholder text left in document ## Activation Triggers Triggered by requests to analyze an industry, create a market report, write a sector deep-dive, or generate any PE/VC-style research document in Chinese or English.
