market-research-reports_skill

Overview

This skill generates end-to-end, consulting-grade market research reports of 50+ pages, formatted in professional LaTeX and compiled to PDF. It combines deep data gathering, multi-framework strategic analysis, and high-quality visuals to produce actionable recommendations and implementation roadmaps. Reports follow the structure and rigor expected from top consulting firms while supporting extensive customization for sector and geography.

How this skill works

The skill orchestrates research-lookup to collect authoritative market data, company filings, and industry sources, then synthesizes findings into structured LaTeX using the market_research.sty style for consistent typography and layout. It produces an initial set of six priority visuals via scientific-schematics and generate-image, and adds targeted figures as chapters are drafted. Analytical modules apply Porter Five Forces, PESTLE, SWOT, TAM/SAM/SOM, and BCG Matrix frameworks to turn data into strategic insights and quantified recommendations.

When to use it

• Preparing investor-grade market due diligence for M&A or funding rounds
• Developing a comprehensive go-to-market or product launch strategy
• Creating industry reports for corporate strategic planning or board review
• Sizing markets and estimating TAM/SAM/SOM with documented assumptions
• Evaluating market entry, competitive positioning, or regulatory impact

Best practices

• Define scope, geography, time horizon, and key questions before research begins
• Start by generating the six priority visuals to frame the report and guide writing
• Use research-lookup queries with explicit sources and citation requests for traceability
• Quantify assumptions (CAGR, penetration rates, price points) and include sensitivity scenarios
• Iterate visuals and data tables as draft chapters mature to ensure alignment

Example use cases

• 50+ page industry report for a venture fund evaluating investment opportunities
• Corporate strategy whitepaper assessing a new-region market entry with implementation roadmap
• Product team briefing document with TAM/SAM/SOM, customer segmentation, and go-to-market plan
