Can I use this for professional market research?

Yes, it is highly effective for competitive intelligence, market trends, and any investigation requiring high-quality evidence and a transparent research trail.

What makes this different from a standard AI web search?

This skill follows a mandated two-cycle research protocol, requiring deep analysis, contradiction checking, and APA citations rather than just summarizing top search results.

How does the checkpoint system work?

Claude pauses after the initial engagement and research planning phases to ensure the investigation themes and tools align with your goals before proceeding to execution.

Does it support citation styles other than APA?
