# Prospect Audit

Pre-demo sales preparation tool. Generates a comprehensive audit document for a specific prospect, combining company intelligence, CRO findings, and decision-maker research into a conversation-ready deliverable. Use this before every demo to walk in with authority.

## Prerequisites

- `agency.config.json` fully populated with case studies and service offerings
- Tool stack configured (Apollo for person research, web access for CRO audit)
- Company website must be live and accessible

## Composites & Capabilities Used

1. `company-researcher` -- deep company intelligence gathering
2. `cro-auditor` -- full store audit across all page types
3. `person-researcher` -- decision-maker background and activity
4. `decision-maker-finder` -- identify additional stakeholders

## Phase 0: Intake

Accept the following inputs:
- **Company name**: the prospect's business name
- **Website URL**: their primary website (Shopify store preferred)
- **Contact name**: the person the demo is scheduled with
- **Demo date**: when the demo is happening

Validate that the website is accessible before proceeding. If the site is down or behind a password wall, flag immediately and proceed with company research only.

## Phase 1: Company Deep Dive

Execute `company-researcher` with depth: "deep"

Gather:
- Business overview: what they sell, their positioning, target market
- Tech stack: Shopify plan, theme, apps installed, payment providers, analytics tools
- Social presence: Instagram followers, engagement rate, LinkedIn company page, Twitter/X
- Recent news: funding rounds, product launches, leadership changes, press mentions
- Growth signals: hiring activity, new market expansion, ad spend changes
- Competitive landscape: who are their direct competitors, how do they compare
- Reviews and reputation: Trustpilot, Google reviews, app store reviews if applicable

## Phase 2: CRO Audit

Execute `cro-auditor` with depth: "deep"

Audit the following areas:
- **Homepage**: hero, value proposition, trust signals, navigation, above-the-fold CTA
- **Product pages**: imagery, descriptions, variant selection, add-to-cart UX, social proof
- **Collection pages**: filtering, sorting, product card design, pagination
- **Mobile experience**: responsive behavior, thumb-zone CTA placement, load time
- **Cart and checkout**: cart drawer vs page, upsells, trust badges, shipping clarity
- **Site speed**: Core Web Vitals, image optimization, script bloat
- **SEO basics**: meta titles, descriptions, structured data, internal linking

Score each area out of 10. Calculate an overall score. Rank findings by impact (revenue at stake) and effort (implementation complexity).

## Phase 3: Person Research

Execute `person-researcher` on the demo contact:
- LinkedIn profile summary and headline
- Recent LinkedIn posts and articles (last 3 months)
- Conference talks, podcast appearances, media quotes
- Career trajectory: previous roles, time at current company, promotions
- Topics they engage with: what they like, comment on, share
- Mutual connections or shared interests
- Communication style indicators (formal vs casual, data-driven vs narrative)

## Phase 4: Compile Audit Document

Structure the output as a presentable audit:

```
