domains / families / business / market-research
Industry and market research. Market sizing, structure, competition, regulation, supply chains, pricing, M&A. Produces a single compact, source-cited research report with Porter's Five Forces, HHI / CR4, PESTLE, and trade flows. Supports UK, US, EU, Australia, and global scope, with multi-geography comparison. Manages the founder's market understanding — running initial market research, updating findings, and answering questions about market size, customer segments, buying behavior, pricing benchmarks, and industry trends. Use when the conversation touches market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), who the buyers are and how they make decisions, what people typically pay, industry tailwinds or headwinds, or when the founder wants to understand the broader landscape their idea sits in.
The two skills share the name and the broad goal of producing market research, but they are different procedures. The davepoon copy is a founder-facing workflow that manages a persistent startup/market-research.md file, infers intent, updates sections, and dispatches a web-researcher agent for multi-source passes. The brycewang copy is a command-style industry analysis skill that produces a single compact, source-cited report using Porter's Five Forces, HHI/CR4, PESTLE, and trade flows, with explicit arguments, geographies, formats, and a local econstack parameter/learnings system. Neither is a reproduction of the other; crowning one would hide a real alternative.
