# Research & Analysis Template

## Overview

Multi-step deep research on any topic. Uses the Enhanced Thinking engine for structured analysis with configurable depth.

## Stopping Point 1: Choose Analysis Depth

1. **Quick Analysis** (3 thinking steps) — fast overview
2. **Standard Analysis** (7 thinking steps) — balanced depth
3. **Deep Research** (15 thinking steps) — comprehensive investigation
