Market Research Step 2: Customer Behavior and Segments

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

🛑 NEVER generate content without web search verification
✅ Search the web to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts
📋 YOU ARE A CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR ANALYST, not content generator
💬 FOCUS on customer behavior patterns and demographic analysis
🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources
📝 WRITE CONTENT IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT
📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete research
🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with ‘C’, ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

🎯 Show web search analysis before presenting findings
⚠️ Present [C] continue option after customer behavior content generation
📝 WRITE CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS TO DOCUMENT IMMEDIATELY
💾 ONLY proceed when user chooses C (Continue)
📖 Update frontmatter stepsCompleted: [1, 2] before loading next step
🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

Current document and frontmatter from step-01 are available
Focus on customer behavior patterns and demographic analysis
Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled
Previous step confirmed research scope and goals
Research topic = “{{research_topic}}” - established from initial discussion
Research goals = “{{research_goals}}” - established from initial discussion

YOUR TASK:

Conduct customer behavior and segment analysis with emphasis on patterns and demographics.

CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS SEQUENCE:

1. Begin Customer Behavior Analysis

UTILIZE SUBPROCESSES AND SUBAGENTS: Use research subagents, subprocesses or parallel processing if available to thoroughly analyze different customer behavior areas simultaneously and thoroughly.

Start with customer behavior research approach: “Now I’ll conduct customer behavior analysis for {{research_topic}} to understand customer patterns.

Customer Behavior Focus:

Customer behavior patterns and preferences
Demographic profiles and segmentation
Psychographic characteristics and values
Behavior drivers and influences
Customer interaction patterns and engagement

Let me search for current customer behavior insights.“

2. Parallel Customer Behavior Research Execution

Execute multiple web searches simultaneously:

Search the web: “{{research_topic}} customer behavior patterns” Search the web: “{{research_topic}} customer demographics” Search the web: “{{research_topic}} psychographic profiles” Search the web: “{{research_topic}} customer behavior drivers”

Analysis approach:

Look for customer behavior studies and research reports
Search for demographic segmentation and analysis
Research psychographic profiling and value systems
Analyze behavior drivers and influencing factors
Study customer interaction and engagement patterns

3. Analyze and Aggregate Results

Collect and analyze findings from all parallel searches:

“After executing comprehensive parallel web searches, let me analyze and aggregate customer behavior findings:

Research Coverage:

Customer behavior patterns and preferences
Demographic profiles and segmentation
Psychographic characteristics and values
Behavior drivers and influences
Customer interaction patterns and engagement

Cross-Behavior Analysis: [Identify patterns connecting demographics, psychographics, and behaviors]

Quality Assessment: [Overall confidence levels and research gaps identified]”

4. Generate Customer Behavior Content

WRITE IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT

Prepare customer behavior analysis with web search citations:

Content Structure:

When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:

## Customer Behavior and Segments

### Customer Behavior Patterns

[Customer behavior patterns analysis with source citations]
_Behavior Drivers: [Key motivations and patterns from web search]_
_Interaction Preferences: [Customer engagement and interaction patterns]_
_Decision Habits: [How customers typically make decisions]_
_Source: [URL]_

### Demographic Segmentation

[Demographic analysis with source citations]
_Age Demographics: [Age groups and preferences]_
_Income Levels: [Income segments and purchasing behavior]_
_Geographic Distribution: [Regional/city differences]_
_Education Levels: [Education impact on behavior]_
_Source: [URL]_

### Psychographic Profiles

[Psychographic analysis with source citations]
_Values and Beliefs: [Core values driving customer behavior]_
_Lifestyle Preferences: [Lifestyle choices and behaviors]_
_Attitudes and Opinions: [Customer attitudes toward products/services]_
_Personality Traits: [Personality influences on behavior]_
_Source: [URL]_

### Customer Segment Profiles

[Detailed customer segment profiles with source citations]
_Segment 1: [Detailed profile including demographics, psychographics, behavior]_
_Segment 2: [Detailed profile including demographics, psychographics, behavior]_
_Segment 3: [Detailed profile including demographics, psychographics, behavior]_
_Source: [URL]_

### Behavior Drivers and Influences

[Behavior drivers analysis with source citations]
_Emotional Drivers: [Emotional factors influencing behavior]_
_Rational Drivers: [Logical decision factors]_
_Social Influences: [Social and peer influences]_
_Economic Influences: [Economic factors affecting behavior]_
_Source: [URL]_

### Customer Interaction Patterns

[Customer interaction analysis with source citations]
_Research and Discovery: [How customers find and research options]_
_Purchase Decision Process: [Steps in purchase decision making]_
_Post-Purchase Behavior: [After-purchase engagement patterns]_
_Loyalty and Retention: [Factors driving customer loyalty]_
_Source: [URL]_

5. Present Analysis and Continue Option

Show analysis and present continue option:

“I’ve completed customer behavior analysis for {{research_topic}}, focusing on customer patterns.

Key Customer Behavior Findings:

Customer behavior patterns clearly identified with drivers
Demographic segmentation thoroughly analyzed
Psychographic profiles mapped and documented
Customer interaction patterns captured
Multiple sources verified for critical insights

Ready to proceed to customer pain points? [C] Continue - Save this to document and proceed to pain points analysis

HALT — wait for user response before proceeding.

6. Handle Continue Selection

If ‘C’ (Continue):

CONTENT ALREADY WRITTEN TO DOCUMENT
Update frontmatter: stepsCompleted: [1, 2]
Load: ./step-03-customer-pain-points.md

APPEND TO DOCUMENT:

Content is already written to document when generated in step 4. No additional append needed.

SUCCESS METRICS:

✅ Customer behavior patterns identified with current citations ✅ Demographic segmentation thoroughly analyzed ✅ Psychographic profiles clearly documented ✅ Customer interaction patterns captured ✅ Multiple sources verified for critical insights ✅ Content written immediately to document ✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly ✅ Proper routing to next step (customer pain points) ✅ Research goals alignment maintained

FAILURE MODES:

❌ Relying solely on training data without web verification for current facts

❌ Missing critical customer behavior patterns ❌ Incomplete demographic segmentation analysis ❌ Missing psychographic profile documentation ❌ Not writing content immediately to document ❌ Not presenting [C] continue option after content generation ❌ Not routing to customer pain points analysis step ❌ CRITICAL: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor research decisions ❌ CRITICAL: Proceeding with ‘C’ without fully reading and understanding the next step file ❌ CRITICAL: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols

CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:

Research customer behavior studies and market research
Use demographic data from authoritative sources
Research psychographic profiling and value systems
Analyze customer interaction and engagement patterns
Focus on current behavior data and trends
Present conflicting information when sources disagree
Apply confidence levels appropriately

BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS STANDARDS:

Always cite URLs for web search results
Use authoritative customer research sources
Note data currency and potential limitations
Present multiple perspectives when sources conflict
Apply confidence levels to uncertain data
Focus on actionable customer insights

NEXT STEP:

After user selects ‘C’, load ./step-03-customer-pain-points.md to analyze customer pain points, challenges, and unmet needs for {{research_topic}}.

Remember: Always write research content to document immediately and emphasize current customer data with rigorous source verification!
