+# 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
+
+## 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
+
