# 03 — Planning and Research
## Research Through Three Goals
1. **End-user value** — what do users need? What frustrates them about existing solutions?
2. **Business psychology** — what conversion patterns work? What pricing anchors exist?
3. **Brand positioning** — how does this differentiate vs. the competitive field?
### Aggressive API / Service Discovery
During planning, scan:
- MCP servers (`05/mcp-and-cloud-integrations`)
- API keys (`05/shared-api-pool`)
- Coolify services
- AI APIs (OpenAI, Workers AI, Ideogram)
- Communication APIs (Slack, Discord)
- Automation hooks (Zapier, n8n, Inngest)
## Research Protocol
- **When** — New domain, unfamiliar tech, design decisions, performance optimization, verifiable claims, idea engine needs evidence, GEO/AI-search positioning, competitor site analysis.
- **Methods** — WebSearch, documentation, codebase archaeology, API exploration, visual research (competitor screenshots), programmatic SEO keyword analysis, Stagehand for JS-heavy competitor sites, Firecrawl for bulk multi-page scraping.
- **Output** — Findings + implications + recommendations + confidence (high/medium/low) + sources. Return ≤200 words from subagents — never raw file dumps.
