# Deep Research Run focused research on specific questions to validate assumptions, check facts, and discover what's changed recently. **This process has 8 steps. Complete every step in order. Do not skip steps. When reporting progress, label each step as shown (e.g., "Step 3/8").** --- ## Step 1/8 -- Determine research questions 1. If the user provides specific questions as arguments, use those. 2. If no questions provided, look for a `DEEP_RESEARCH_REQUEST.md` or `strategy/DEEP_RESEARCH_REQUEST.md` in the working directory. 3. If neither exists, ask the user what they want researched. ## Step 2/8 -- Check for overlap with existing work Before researching anything, scan all existing docs in the project's strategy/analysis subfolder. Don't re-research what's already answered. Note which questions are already covered (partially or fully) and skip them. ## Step 3/8 -- Verify the question hierarchy Questions must be ordered by how fundamental they are. If a higher-level assumption is wrong, lower-level questions are irrelevant. ``` Level 0: Does the core capability actually work / is it differentiated? +-- Level 1: Is the market structure what we think it is? +-- Level 2: Will someone actually pay for this? +-- Level 3: Are our specific market picks right? +-- Level 4: Can we execute? (timing, legal, competitive dynamics) ``` **Research top-down.** Don't research Level 3 until Level 0-1 are validated. Assign each question a level.
