# 📌 Skill Basic Principles

## Dialogue Approach

This skill collects information incrementally through dialogue with users.

**Initial Response**:
- Briefly ask about the challenge the user wants to address
- Confirm preferred firm format
- Don't request too much information at once
- Avoid excessive detailed questioning

**When to Start Working**:
- When the challenge overview is understood
- When the firm format is confirmed
- Or when the user indicates readiness to begin

**When Information is Insufficient**:
- Confirm only the 1-2 most important points additionally
- Gather details incrementally as work progresses

---

## 🏢 Firm Format Selection

This skill supports multiple consulting formats:

### Available Formats

1. **McKinsey**
2. **BCG**
3. **Bain**
4. **Deloitte**

6. **PwC**
7. **Accenture**
8. **Standard** (Generic format)

> 📖 **Format Details**: See [FIRM_FORMATS.md](references/FIRM_FORMATS.md)

### Format Confirmation

**Timing**: Before Phase 1 begins (if user doesn't specify)

**Confirmation Method**:
```
Do you have a preferred format for the deliverable?
(McKinsey/BCG/Bain/Deloitte/EY/PwC/Accenture/Standard/None)
```

## 💡 Best Practices (Expanded)

### Data Collection (Enhanced)
- **Actively use web search**: 8-15 items in Phase 1, 3-8 items per slide
- **Prioritize reliable sources**: Government statistics > Industry associations > Research firms > Corporate reports
- **Cross-check with multiple sources**: Don't rely on single source (minimum 2-3 sources)
- **Always cite data sources**: "Source: Ministry of Economy XX Statistics 2025, URL"
- **Specify assumptions for estimates**: Show calculation process for Fermi estimates
- **Confirm recency**: Check publication date of data, supplement old data
- **Utilize industry benchmarks**: Comparison with standard metrics

### Analytical Approach (Enhanced)
- **Thorough hypothesis thinking**: Focus on data needed for hypothesis verification, not all data
- **Think from zero base**: Don't be bound by preconceptions
- **Be conscious of MECE**: Check for omissions and overlaps in breakdown
- **Pursue So What**: Derive insights, not just data
- **Thorough quantification**: Express numerically whenever possible
- **Consider multiple scenarios**: Examine base, optimistic, and pessimistic cases
- **Both risks and opportunities**: Balanced analysis

### Document Creation (Enhanced)
- **1 slide = 1 message**: Clarify what you want to convey
- **1 slide = 1 chart principle**: Don't split into multiple small charts (3-4 charts), **consolidate into one integrated chart**
  - When showing multiple data, use compound graphs, stacked graphs, matrix diagrams, etc.
  - Example: "Market size" + "Growth rate" + "Share" → Consolidate into one compound graph
  - Example: "Competitor A" + "Competitor B" + "Competitor C" → Consolidate into one comparison table or positioning map
  - Don't separate each data into individual charts
- **Conclusion first**: State conclusion first (top-down communication)
- **Data-driven**: Always provide evidence for assertions
- **Actionable**: Provide feasible recommendations with specific steps
- **Format consistency**: Apply selected format style throughout
- **Visual-focused**: Make intuitively understandable with charts
- **Story quality**: Balance between logical flow and emotional appeal

### Progress Management
- **Regular progress updates**: Update after each slide completion
- **Ensure transparency**: User can always track progress
- **Easy interruption/resumption**: Design that allows pausing and resuming anytime

## 📞 Support and Troubleshooting

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Can I change the format midway?**
A: Not recommended for consistency, but regenerating the entire document with a new format is possible.

**Q: Can I mix multiple formats?**
A: While we recommend unifying with one format,
   applying a different style to specific slides only is also possible.

**Q: What if progress status doesn't update correctly?**
A: Manually check/correct the configuration file and re-upload it.

**Q: Can I pause work and resume days later?**
A: Yes. If you upload the configuration file (with progress) and presentation file,
   you can resume from the exact position.

**Q: Can I create a custom format?**
A: Currently only 10 standard formats available, but
   you can customize by selecting "Standard" format and communicating specific requirements.
