What market-landscape-scan does

The skill follows a structured research workflow instead of offering an instant guess. It starts with a brief search plan, outlines how buyers experience market segments, and documents direct and adjacent players. Substitutes and non-consumption like basic spreadsheets are mapped as real competitors because status quo habits often win customer attention.

Investigation operates under a strict budget of three questions covering the problem space, the target decision, and boundaries like geography or pricing tiers. If left unanswered, the agent proceeds on labeled assumptions. A complete run takes 20-40 minutes. Players are capped at 12 entries with clear momentum signals.

Every detected whitespace must pass a counter-check to confirm it is not an empty dead zone without buyer demand. Because the workflow prohibits fabricating companies or funding rounds, the agent relies strictly on verifiable public sources.

What it helps with

  • Map buyer segments where vendor categories disagree with practical buyer habits
  • Identify overlooked rivals among adjacent products and spreadsheet substitutes
  • Validate apparent whitespace against the risk of an unviable dead zone
  • Supply structured inputs for sizing TAM, SAM, and SOM metrics

Example prompts for the agent

  • Run market-landscape-scan on developer API observability tools in the EU for our Q4 entry decision.
  • Scan the contract analytics market with a focus on buyer-side segmentation and substitute habits.
  • Map direct and adjacent players for onboarding platforms before scoping our new product line.

What does market-landscape-scan do?

It runs an autonomous market research workflow that segments a domain from the buyer perspective, maps up to 12 direct and adjacent players, and analyzes market dynamics. It also flags potential gaps while testing whether they might simply be dead zones.

What inputs are needed to begin the scan?

You provide a market or problem description, the decision it supports, and any scope limits such as region or buyer size. If you omit details, the skill asks up to three questions or continues using explicitly marked assumptions.
