Works for open-source ecosystems, SaaS products, mobile apps, consumer tech, B2B platforms — anything. **Output:** 10 deliverable documents covering ecosystem map, competitor profiles, feature matrices, demo video library, UI patterns, gap analysis, user sentiment, pricing benchmarks, and technical architecture. See `references/deliverables.md` for full schemas and templates. --- ## Tool Selection Before starting research, check available tools: ### Tier 1: Quick Research (always available) - Use WebSearch for simple queries (1-5 searches) - Use WebFetch to read specific URLs - Good for: "who are competitors?", quick lookups, 1-5 sources - No external dependencies, no API keys needed ### Tier 2: Deep Research (if imperium-crawl installed) Check availability: `command -v imperium-crawl >/dev/null 2>&1` If available, use imperium-crawl for: - **Bulk search** across 12+ query strategies (`imperium-crawl search --query "..." --count 20`) - **Parallel scraping** of 20+ sites (`imperium-crawl batch-scrape --urls "url1,url2" --extraction-schema "..."`) - **AI-powered extraction** (`imperium-crawl ai-extract --url URL --schema '{...}'`) - **YouTube analysis** — NO API key needed (`imperium-crawl youtube --action search/video/transcript/channel`) - **Reddit mining** — NO API key needed (`imperium-crawl reddit --action search/posts/comme
