# Deep Research

> Driven's Deep Research Skill runs multi-source investment research across companies, sectors, and macro themes, cross-checks evidence, cites sources, and exports a report.

Deep Research is Driven's heaviest research workflow. It is built for questions that need evidence from many sources pulled together into a coherent, cited analysis, the kind of work that would take a human analyst hours of gathering and synthesis.

## When to use it

Reach for Deep Research when the question is broad or evidence-heavy:

* Company deep dives
* Industry maps and competitive landscapes
* Earnings-season summaries across multiple names
* Policy or macro event impact analysis
* Theme research ("who benefits from X")

For a quick read on a single metric or a fast market check, a lighter Skill like [Market Pulse](/skills/market-pulse) or [Stock Analysis](/skills/stock-analysis) is faster.

## What it does

Deep Research defines the scope of the question, collects evidence from multiple data sources, separates facts from opinion, cross-checks key figures, summarizes the risks, and produces an analyst-style brief. Because it runs as a multi-step workflow, important numbers are verified before they appear in the final output, which reduces calculation, unit-conversion, and source errors.

The complete conclusions from each step are preserved in the final report, so nothing gets dropped on the way to the summary.

## Prompt template

```text theme={null}
Run Deep Research on [topic]. Define the scope, collect evidence from multiple sources, separate facts from opinions, cite sources, summarize risks, and produce an analyst-style brief.
```

## Example

```text theme={null}
Run Deep Research on the AI data center power bottleneck. Identify public companies exposed to the theme, what evidence supports the thesis, and the biggest risks.
```

## Export the report

When the research is long, ask for a downloadable file:

```text theme={null}
Save the final report as a file in my workspace.
```

The report lands in the Agent's files, where you can revisit or share it.

## Tips

* **Set the scope explicitly.** Naming what to include and exclude keeps a broad topic from sprawling.
* **Ask for the risks and the disconfirming evidence**, not just the thesis. The most useful Deep Research output tells you what would make the idea wrong.
* **Chain it.** Run Deep Research to map a theme, then use [Stock Analysis](/skills/stock-analysis) or [Valuation Matrix](/skills/valuation-matrix) on the strongest names it surfaces.
