Research Execution Workflow

Step 1: Verify and Understand the Structured Prompt

Before starting research, verify you have received a complete structured research prompt from stock-question-refiner containing:

Minimum Required:

• Stock ticker/code and company name
• Market (A-share/HK/US)
• Investment style (value/growth/turnaround/dividend)
• Holding period (short/medium/long)
• Research scope (all 8 phases + priority areas)
• Output requirements and format
• Research constraints and data sources

If incomplete: Ask user for clarification before proceeding.

If complete: Proceed to research planning.

Step 2: Create Research Execution Plan

Based on the structured prompt, create a detailed execution plan:

## Research Execution Plan

### Research Target
- Stock: [ticker] [company name]
- Investment Style: [value/growth/etc.]
- Time Horizon: [short/medium/long]
- Risk Tolerance: [conservative/balanced/aggressive]

### Phase Priority (based on user's focus areas)
**Deep Dive Phases**: [list 2-3 priority phases]
**Standard Coverage**: [list remaining phases]

### Multi-Agent Deployment Strategy
**Phase 1**: [number] agents - [focus areas]
**Phase 2**: [number] agents - [focus areas]
...
**Phase 8**: Synthesis and report generation

### Output Structure
Directory: `RESEARCH/STOCK_[ticker]_[company]/`
Files: [list all files to be created]

### Estimated Timeline
[rough time estimate for each phase]

Ready to proceed?

Present this plan to user and wait for confirmation (unless in automated/non-interactive mode).

Step 3: Deploy Multi-Agent Research (Phases 1-7)

For each phase, deploy multiple Task agents in parallel (single message, multiple tool calls).

Critical Rule: Always launch multiple agents in parallel for efficiency. DO NOT launch agents sequentially.

Example Parallel Deployment:

[Launching 4 agents in parallel...]

Agent 1: Research business foundation - products and revenue
Agent 2: Research business foundation - customers and value chain
Agent 3: Research business foundation - recent strategic changes
Agent 4: Cross-check and verify key facts from Agents 1-3

Agent Template Structure:

You are a research agent focused on [specific aspect] of [company name] ([ticker]).

**Your Task**: [specific research objective]

**Tools to Use**:
1. Start with WebSearch to find relevant sources
2. Use WebFetch to extract content from promising URLs
3. Use mcp__web_reader__webReader for better content extraction
4. Cross-reference claims across multiple sources

**Research Focus**:
- [Specific questions to answer]
- [Key data points to find]
- [Sources to prioritize based on user constraints]

**Output Format**:
Provide a structured summary with:
- Key findings (bullet points)
- Source citations (author, date, title, URL)
- Confidence ratings (High/Medium/Low) for each claim
- Contradictions or gaps found

**Quality Standards**:
- Only make claims supported by sources
- Distinguish between [FACT] and [OPINION/ANALYSIS]
- Flag uncertainties explicitly

Step 4: Coordinate and Synthesize Results

After agents complete their tasks:

1. Compile findings from all agents
2. Identify overlaps and redundancies
3. Resolve contradictions by examining sources
4. Maintain source attribution from each agent
5. Create coherent narrative with logical flow

Synthesis Principles:

• Prioritize primary sources (company filings) over secondary analysis
• Identify consensus vs. outliers in opinions
• Explicitly acknowledge uncertainties
• Use synthesizer skill if needed for complex multi-agent integration

Step 5: Generate Phase Reports

For each phase, create a structured markdown report:

# Phase X: [Phase Name]

## Executive Summary
[2-3 paragraph overview of key findings]

## Detailed Findings
[Comprehensive analysis with subsections]

## Key Data
[Tables, metrics, statistics]

## Source Quality Assessment
- A-grade sources: [count] sources
- B-grade sources: [count] sources
- [etc.]

## Contradictions and Gaps
[What sources disagree on, what couldn't be determined]

## Key Takeaways
[3-5 bullet points of most important insights]

Step 6: Quality Assurance (After Phase 7)

Before final synthesis, perform quality checks:

Citation Verification:

• Every factual claim has a citation
• Citation format: Author, Date, Title, URL
• Source quality rated (A-E scale)

Cross-Validation:

• Profit vs. cash flow comparison completed
• Company vs. peer comparison completed
• Bear case analysis included

Completeness:

• All 8 phases covered
• User's priority areas given extra depth
• Red flags and risks identified

Objectivity:

• No investment advice given
• Balanced presentation of bull/bear cases
• No hype or fear language

Step 7: Generate Final Synthesis Report

Create comprehensive investment due diligence report:

File: 00_Executive_Summary.md

• Signal light rating with rationale
• One-paragraph investment thesis
• Key metrics summary table
• Top 3 reasons to consider/not consider
• Risk summary

File: 01_Business_Foundation.md through 07_Valuation_Moat.md

• Individual phase reports

Financial_Data/ directory:

• key_metrics_table.md
• cashflow_analysis.md
• peer_comparison.md

Valuation/ directory:

• historical_multiples.md
• dcf_analysis.md
• implied_expectations.md

Risk_Monitoring/ directory:

• bear_case.md
• black_swans.md
• monitoring_checklist.md

sources/ directory:

• bibliography.md
• data_sources.md

Step 8: Use Citation Validator Skill

After generating the report, invoke the citation-validator skill to:

• Verify all claims have citations
• Check citation completeness
• Rate source quality
• Identify missing or problematic citations
• Provide correction recommendations

Incorporate validation findings into the final report.

Research Quality Standards

Mandatory Cross-Validation

1. Profit vs. Cash Flow:

• Calculate Operating Cash Flow / Net Income for 3-5 years
• Flag if ratio < 0.8 consistently (potential red flag)
• Identify one-time items affecting earnings vs. cash

2. Company vs. Peers:

• Compare key ratios (margins, growth, valuation multiples)
• Identify outliers (significant deviations from peers)
• Explain reasons for differences

3. Bear Case Analysis:

• Identify 3-5 key risks or failure scenarios
• Assess likelihood and impact
• Identify what data/events would trigger these scenarios

Source Quality Rating (A-E Scale)

A - Highest Quality:

• Peer-reviewed academic research
• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
• Randomized controlled trials
• Regulatory filings (annual reports, 10-K, 20-F)
• Government agency publications

B - High Quality:

• Cohort studies, case-control studies
• Clinical guidelines and consensus statements
• Reputable analyst research (with skepticism)
• Industry association reports
• Company investor relations materials

C - Moderate Quality:

• Expert opinion, thought leadership
• Case reports and series
• Mechanistic studies
• Company press releases

• Social media content (verify with primary sources)

E - Lowest Quality:

• Anecdotal evidence
• Theoretical speculation without data
• Rumors and unverified claims
• Conflicts of interest not disclosed

Citation Format Requirements

Every factual claim must include:

1. Author/Organization: Who produced the content
2. Publication Date: When it was published (at least year)
3. Source Title: Name of the report, article, or document
4. Direct URL/DOI: Where to find it
5. Page Numbers: If applicable (for PDF documents)

Growth Investing

• Emphasize: TAM, competitive positioning, growth sustainability
• Valuation: PEG, DCF with aggressive growth, user value models
• Red flags: Growth slowdown, competitive threats, valuation compression

Turnaround/Distressed

• Emphasize: Liquidity, solvency, restructuring progress
• Valuation: Liquidation value, option value, recovery scenarios
• Red flags: Insolvency, no clear path to viability

Dividend/Income

• Emphasize: Dividend sustainability, payout ratio, FCF generation
• Valuation: DDM, yield vs. alternatives, FCF coverage
• Red flags: Dividend cuts, payout ratio too high, declining FCF
