Use Bigdata.com plugin tools for every fact.\n\n**Use this skill when** the user wants to catch up on what has already happened. Not this skill when:\n\n| Request | Use instead |\n|---------|-------------|\n| Analysis ahead of an upcoming earnings call | Earnings preview |\n| Breakdown of results just reported | Earnings digest / earnings reaction |\n| \"What is it worth\" | Valuation snapshot |\n| Structured risk mapping with likelihood/impact | Risk assessment |\n| Full thesis, DCF, or variant perception | Investment memo |\n\n## Data foundation (plugin tools)\n\n| Tool | Purpose | Prerequisite |\n|------|---------|--------------|\n| `find_securities` | Resolve company name → RavenPack `entity_id` | None |\n| `bigdata_company_tearsheet` | Profile, sector/industry, financial position, recent performance | `find_securities` |\n| `bigdata_search` | News, filings, transcripts, legal and regulatory coverage | None |\n\nIf the company name is ambiguous after `find_securities`, ask:\n\n> \"I found multiple companies named [X]. Did you mean [Company A] in [Industry] or [Company B] in [Industry]?\"\n\n## Workflow\n\n### Step 1 — Identify the company\n\nCall `find_securities` with the company name to get the `entity_id`.\n\n### Step 2 — Business context\n\nCall `bigdata_company_tearsheet` with the `entity_id` for the company profile (sector, industry, description), financial position, and recent performance metrics. This context is what lets you judge whether a news item is material — read it before searching.\n\n### Step 3 — Competitive context (one pass)\n\nRun `bigdata_search` at least once on industry structure and positioning:\n\n- \"[Company] competitive landscape market share\"\n- \"[Company] vs competitors [Industry]\"\n\nA full five-forces write-up is not needed. **2–4 sentences** on concentration, pricing power, and disruption risk materially lift the brief. Mental model: [references/porter-five-forces.md](./references/porter-five-forces.md).\n\n### Step 4 — Search recent news (last 30 days)\n\nUse `bigdata_search` with natural-language queries that include the company name and a temporal reference. Run **5–10 searches** for coverage, then compress.\n\n- \"[Company] news last 30 days\"\n- \"[Company] recent developments\"\n- \"[Company] earnings announcement\"\n- \"[Company] product launches partnerships\"\n- \"[Company] regulatory legal updates\"\n- \"[Company] lawsuit litigation court ruling investigation settlement last 30 days\"\n\nCover all of: financial developments, product/technology announcements, partnerships and M&A, regulatory and legal matters, management changes. The explicit legal/litigation query is there so material non-operational items don't get buried under earnings headlines.\n\nIf the month was quiet, ask:\n\n> \"I haven't found any significant developments for [Company] in the last 30 days. Would you like me to extend the search period or focus on specific topics?\"\n\n### Step 5 — Categorize, and mark what is primary\n\nSort every finding into the six output categories: **Financial Results**, **Product/Tech Launches**, **M&A and Partnerships**, **Regulatory/Legal Updates**, **Management Changes**, **Other Material Events**.\n\nWhile sorting, tag each item **primary** (material to value or the narrative) or **secondary**. Do not equal-weight the categories in the prose — quantity of headlines is not materiality. If a category is empty, write \"No significant developments in this period\" rather than padding it.\n\n### Step 6 — Investment implication (\"so what\")\n\nFor each **material** event, give:\n\n- **Date** — when it happened or was announced\n- **Facts** — objective summary of what happened\n- **Investment implication** — Bullish / Bearish / Neutral, tied to a value driver\n\nAvoid generic labels. Replace \"bullish for the stock\" with the lever: \"could support ~+$Nm revenue run-rate\", \"+Ybps margin\", \"de-risks [issue]\", \"lifts regulatory overhang on segment Z\". If it isn't quantifiable, state the **specific mechanism** instead of a direction.\n\n### Step 7 — Rank and synthesize\n\nRank the top **2–3** developments for the period and lead the executive summary with them. The overall assessment states the **net tilt and why**, not a recap of every bullet.\n\n## Output\n\nFollow [assets/report-template.md](./assets/report-template.md) exactly — section order, sources, and footer.\n\n- Add inline citations as superscript-style numbers `[1]`, `[2]` immediately after claims, hyperlinked to the document URL.\n- Every deliverable ends with the **Powered by Bigdata.com** line and the **Disclaimer**, verbatim.\n- Default format is Markdown; offer a Word (.docx) or presentation version at the end if useful.\n\n## Quality bar\n\nPass the PM test before delivering: **What's different?** **What matters (2–3 items)?** **What should I do about it?** (net assessment, key risk, next catalyst — no position sizing). Would it survive a short, skeptical morning meeting without reading as a news dump?\n\nNon-negotiables in every brief:\n\n- Competitive context present, not skipped\n- Every material event carries date, facts, and a **mechanism-level** implication\n- Top 2–3 developments ranked and surfaced in the executive summary\n- Legal/regulatory search actually run, with material items shown\n- Empty categories marked as such rather than padded\n- Facts separated from analysis and implications\n"
