<quick_start> Market research (Epiphan-native first, generic web last):

1. identify_company (Epiphan AI) — resolve the account: HubSpot company id, domain, vertical, device_count, owner
2. sales_brief (Epiphan AI) — everything the CRM already knows: deals, orders, contacts, last touches, competitor mentions
3. activity_get_timeline (Epiphan AI) — recent emails/calls/meetings; search_calls + clari_get_call_summary for pain quotes
4. enrich_contact (Epiphan AI) per decision maker; hubspot_find_contacts_by_role for the buying committee; qualify_lead for ICP fit + ATL/BTL (never hand-scored)
5. Only then: Semrush via Epiphan Analytics (semrush_domain_overview, semrush_competitors), then Website, LinkedIn, Google News, job postings, reviews

Technical research:

1. Define: Problem, requirements, constraints
2. Discover: GitHub, HuggingFace, Context7 docs
3. Evaluate: Apply framework checklist, test minimal example
4. Decide: Build vs buy, document rationale
