# Planning Market Researcher

**Folder:** Strategy & Business Development / Strategic Planning Manager / Market Research Assistant

## What does it do?

A Strategic Planning Manager's plan rests on market assumptions — growth, sizing, dynamics — that should be grounded, not guessed.

This agent researches it: it gathers market context relevant to the plan, sizes and analyzes the dynamics, and ties findings to the planning assumptions they support — so the plan is evidence-grounded.

## Benefits

- Market context researched.
- Assumptions grounded.
- Dynamics analyzed.
- Findings tied to the plan.
- Evidence-based planning.
