Execution Flow
- User provides company_name, domain, and optional category/mode
- Read the process file(s) from
./references/research-processes/
- Fill
{{variable}} placeholders:
{{company_name}} - from input{{domain}} - from input{{category}} - from input (omit from query if not provided){{current_year}} - current year
- Execute searches using Serper (web search API) following each process's step order
- Follow stop conditions - skip remaining steps when conditions are met
- Respect kill lists - never run queries marked as KILL or in "do not search"
- Extract data points specified in each step's "extract from results" section
- Format output using the process file's output template
Key Rules
- Follow stop conditions - don't waste searches when you already have the data
- Respect kill lists - these queries are validated as ineffective or misleading
- Use the PRIMARY query pattern first - it's the highest-accuracy pattern per validation
- Category qualifier improves accuracy for ambiguous company names (Clay, Stripe, etc.)
- Tier awareness - T3/T4 (smaller companies) have thinner data for news, media, specialized roles. Don't chase what doesn't exist.
- Rate limit - pause 150ms between searches
