Showcase
Description
Turns a comprehensive Agent industry research blueprint into a reusable research system. Provide a research intent—such as a region, industry, time window, or specific startup direction—and the Skill uses six expert teams and a six-layer Agent Stack framework to search for and cross-check primary-source evidence online. It builds a company and evidence intelligence database, maps key companies across the six-layer industry map, generates 12–20 startup opportunities based on real enterprise pain points, and scores them with a consistent 100-point model. It also completes unit economics, risk gates, seven reverse stress tests, and three-scenario forecasts. The final output includes a complete 14-section research report, structured CSV/JSON data, Venture Opportunity Briefs for the top three directions, 14/30/60/90-day validation plans, and a Build/Validate/Watch/Avoid decision checklist. Full-depth research runs by default, with weekly or monthly change-tracking modes also available. Every conclusion includes source links, publication dates, fact tiers, and confidence levels. Any unverified data is labeled as undisclosed or not yet verified, and fabricated companies, funding, and pricing are strictly prohibited.

📋 Usage Guide This Skill is an industry research engine based on McKinsey methodology, using the eight-dimension framework from Xiao Jing's "How to Quickly Understand an Industry". Tell it an industry name, and it produces a systematic research report. —————————————————————————————— 🚀 Basic Usage Just tell me the industry you want to research—the more specific, the better: a. "Analyze the solid-state battery industry" b. "Look at the humanoid robot supply chain from an entrepreneurial perspective" c. "Is the solar industry still investable now?" You can optionally provide three details (if missing, I'll use defaults): 1. Industry name: be specific, e.g., "perovskite solar" instead of "new energy"—required; 2. Goal: investment / career / entrepreneurship / competitive analysis / education, default: investment; 3. Region: China market / global / US / Southeast Asia..., default: China market; —————————————————————————————— ⚙️ What it does automatically? The entire process has 4 stages: 1. Multi-round web searches for market size/growth/penetration rate, supply chain, competitive landscape, moat evidence, policy, valuation—every conclusion has a source and timestamp, never fabricated; 2. Lifecycle positioning: use penetration rate to determine if the industry is in introduction/growth/maturity/decline—different stages have completely different research focuses; 3. Eight-dimension deep dive: business model → market size → moat (forced deep dive into dynamic trends) → competitive landscape (forced scoring on each of Porter's Five Forces) → valuation → PEST → business cycle; 4. Contrarian check: distinguish market priced-in consensus from overlooked real issues, and provide decision recommendations; —————————————————————————————— 📊 What it outputs? A professional research report in Markdown format, structured as: 1. ⚡ 30-second verdict — stage / core profit logic / biggest opportunity / biggest risk / one-sentence conclusion; 2. Research object and boundary definition; 3. Lifecycle positioning (with penetration rate data); 4. Eight-dimension analysis (moat includes dynamic trend table, Porter's Five Forces scoring table); 5. Contrarian check; 6. Conclusion and decision recommendations; 7. Key risk list; 8. Data sources and time notes; —————————————————————————————— 🔑 Two Core Highlights 1. Forced deep dive on moat: not just the type of barrier, but must answer "has it widened or narrowed in the past 2-3 years?" using market share/gross margin/pricing power data; 2. Porter's Five Forces scored individually: all five forces scored to avoid shortcuts, determining who has the strongest bargaining power now and whether the landscape is favorable or deteriorating for leaders; —————————————————————————————— ⏱️ Time Approximately 2-4 minutes, due to multiple rounds of search + dimension-by-dimension analysis + report writing —————————————————————————————— 🧩 Subsequent Extensions After the report is generated, you can continue with two specialized analyses (requires manual confirmation, won't run automatically): 1. "Unchain to find bottlenecks": identify physical bottlenecks in the supply chain that can't be bypassed when trends scale, locking in true beneficiary targets; 2. "DCF valuation": run a full discounted cash flow model for a specific company within the industry; —————————————————————————————— ▶️ Want to try? Just tell me an industry name, e.g., "Take a look at the AI agent industry from an entrepreneurial perspective" or "What's the situation with the hydrogen energy supply chain?"
Startup Opportunity Radar
Turn “I think this could make money” into “What evidence is worth testing?” Discover and screen early-stage business opportunities suited to solo businesses, micro-SaaS, AI tools, digital products, data products, physical goods based on supply chains, and transaction services. It starts with real user friction, substitute behaviors, payment actions, and industry changes, helping you avoid mistaking popular trends, search volume, or scattered complaints for genuine demand. You can ask it to scan for new startup directions, or submit a product idea, market, link, screenshot, plan, sales feedback, or historical opportunity list for an individual health check, validation design, or periodic review. The analysis distinguishes facts, inferences, assumptions, and opposing evidence. It examines buyers, use cases, competitive gaps, data and supply chain legality, customer acquisition channels, standardization potential, maintenance costs, and related liability risks. When evidence is insufficient, it states that clearly instead of inventing market size or purchase intent. You will receive a clear opportunity assessment, an evaluation of opportunity quality and user adoption readiness, and a minimum validation plan focused on the riskiest assumptions. This includes validation actions, a stage budget, the maximum acceptable loss, and criteria for proceeding or stopping. It helps you decide which opportunities are worth investigating further while allowing conclusions such as “monitor,” “gather more evidence,” or “do not pursue this cycle,” making startup investment more manageable and gradually building repeatably sellable products and long-term assets.
Research Studio: Report + PPT
Turn a company, industry, or competitor into a research report and PPT deliverable for management presentations and strategic decisions. The research covers strategic positioning, business models, operational detail, key data, the competitive landscape, supply chains, core strengths, and future capability priorities. It also considers industry trends, market size, risks and controversies, and practical competitive tactics—helping you understand how the business wins, whether it can scale, and where it should go next. The skill organizes public research into an evidence chain with dates, data definitions, sources, and credibility notes. It takes an opinion-led approach to distill strategic claims and decision-ready talking points for presentations. The final deliverable is a complete enterprise case study report with data sources and disclaimers, along with a consulting-style PPT outline and presentation built around a single thesis, making complex information easier to explain in about 15 minutes. From the outline through the visual presentation, you can confirm the narrative angle, audience depth, page count, and design style before completing the report and presentation. It is suited to corporate strategy, investment research, consulting projects, industry analysis, and competitive benchmarking. After completion, you can continue developing a specific dimension, make cross-comparisons, adjust the framework or visual style, or research a new subject.
