company-deep-dive

Runs when someone needs real, current intelligence on one specific company — not a vibe from stale general knowledge.

Produces a 360-degree company report: quick assessment up top, then funding, leadership, product, market position, and news, closed by a strategic outlook — every factual claim carrying a date and a source URL.

Scope the run

Three decisions before any research:

1. Which company, exactly. If the name is unambiguous ("research Stripe"), run two quick web searches — "[Company] official site" and "[Company] company overview" — to lock the legal name and primary domain, and confirm in one line: "Researching [Company] ([domain])". If the name collides ("research Mercury" — bank? auto brand?), ask one clarifying question with the top candidates. If no company was named, ask which one.
2. Full or quick. Default to the full deep dive. If the ask says "quick overview", "brief", or "summary", run quick mode: search-snippet research only, skip the deep-extraction step, produce a shorter report.
3. First run or refresh. Keep a running file per company in your workspace (format in references/company-memory.md). If a file for this company exists, load it and run in refresh mode: tell the reader "I have prior research on [Company] from [date] — refreshing with what's new", pass the known facts into every research thread so they hunt only for new signals, and lead the report with a "What's new since [date]" section. No file → full mode across all dimensions.

The play

1. Research five dimensions in parallel

Fan out one research thread per dimension — run them concurrently, not sequentially; a deep dive is five narrow investigations, not one broad search:
