## What it does

This skill prepares company research by examining the business model, competitive position, market dynamics and management quality. Its report structure covers the business overview, market analysis, competitive landscape, SWOT analysis and governance.

For competition, it applies Porter's Five Forces and a positioning matrix. It also assesses market size and growth. When `office-mcp` is available, the skill can use `create_docx`, `create_xlsx` and `create_chart` for documents, spreadsheets and charts.

The skill cannot access proprietary databases or verify information accuracy. It also has no real-time data and does not conduct interviews, so report findings should be checked against primary sources.
