2. Ask users about their desired optional features:
```
Before starting the research, confirm two optional features:
1. **Chart Generation**: Is it necessary to generate charts (such as market size trend charts, competitor comparison matrices, etc.) to provide supplementary explanations?
2. **Slide Generation:** Do you need to convert the report into a presentation slide format?
Please reply:\
A. Both are needed
B. Only charts are needed.
C. Only slides are needed
D. None of these are needed, only the document report.
If no reply is received, only a document report will be generated by default.

Step Two: Multi-Source Information Retrieval
**Search Strategy**:
1. **First Round of Search:** Conduct a broad search using 3-5 core keywords.
2. **Second Round of Search:** Based on the preliminary results, further in-depth mining of long-tail keywords.
3. **Source Diversification**: Ensure coverage of the following types (select according to the topic).
- Official data sources (government reports, industry associations)
- Authoritative media reports
- Academic research papers
- Official company information
- Professional Analysis Report
**Important Notes:**
- Find at least 2-3 independent sources to support each key argument.
- Mark the source and publication time of the information.
For quantitative data, primary data sources should be prioritized.
Step 3: Information Verification and Cross-Comparison
**Verification Process**:
1. **Timeliness Check:**
- Is the data release time specified?
- Is the information recent or from the last 1-2 years?
- If old data is used, is it necessary for historical comparison?
2. **Reliability Check:**
Is the source authoritative and credible?
- Is there a clear source for the data?
- Is there a clear conflict of interest or bias?
3. **Conformity Check**:
Are the data from multiple sources consistent or do they have interpretable differences?
- For conflicting information, identify the reasons for the discrepancies.
- Controversial viewpoints, gathering opinions from multiple perspectives
**Processing Rules**:
- ✅ Consistent Information: Directly adopted, with annotations and multi-source verification.
- ⚠️ Some discrepancies: Explain the reasons for the differences (statistical methods, time differences, etc.)
- ❌ Completely Conflicting: Presents multiple viewpoints without making subjective judgments.
- 🚫 Unable to verify: Not used, or explicitly marked as "Pending verification"

**Competitive Analysis**:
1. Competitor Overview (Selection Criteria, Scope Definition)
2. Comparison of Core Functions
3. Technical Solution Analysis
4. Comparison of Business Models
5. Summary of Strengths and Weaknesses and Lessons Learned
**Principles of Insight Extraction**:
- Every key finding must be supported by data or case studies.
- Distinguish between facts and speculations
- Provide actionable suggestions or conclusions
- Maintain objectivity and neutrality, and avoid subjective assumptions.

## V. Usage Tips
### 💡 Best Practices
1. **Input Tips:**
- ✅ Good input: "I need to research the domestic AIGC video generation market, focusing on B-end application scenarios and commercialization paths. The report will be used for my business plan (BP) for fundraising."
- ❌ Inadequate input: "Help me research AI videos"
**Recommendation:** Even if the input is simple, Skill will clarify by asking questions, but providing more background information can save communication rounds.
2. **Option Selection Tips:**
- If the provided options are generally suitable, simply select the letter (such as "A").
- If fine-tuning is needed, you can say, "It's close to A, but we'd like to add analysis for section XXX."
- If it doesn't meet the requirements at all, select "D" and describe your needs in detail.
3. **Quality Improvement Techniques:**
- By clearly defining the "audience" and "purpose" during the needs clarification phase, the report will automatically adjust its depth and expression.
- If there are any competitors, data dimensions, or analytical perspectives of particular interest, please specify them clearly during the clarification phase.
- During execution, you can add requests such as: "Please add analysis for section XXX" or "The source of this data needs to be updated."
