-# /business-improvement - Self-Improving Research System
-
-> **Purpose**: Continuously improve business knowledge base through iterative web research
-> **Philosophy**: Research -> Learn -> Document -> Generate Follow-ups -> Repeat
-
----
-
-## Overview
-
-The `/business-improvement` command is a **self-improving research engine** that:
-
-1. **Researches** - Executes web searches on business/marketing topics
-2. **Learns** - Extracts key insights and facts from results
-3. **Documents** - Updates or creates files with new knowledge
-4. **Generates** - Produces derived queries for next research cycle
-5. **Tracks** - Logs every search, learning, and improvement for meta-analysis
-
----
-
-## Execution Protocol
-
-### Phase 1: Pre-Research Analysis
-
-1. **Review current knowledge state**
-   - Check existing business documentation
-   - Identify knowledge gaps and stale content
-
-2. **Identify improvement opportunities**
-   - Review documents for incomplete sections
-   - Check dates of last updates (stale content = improvement opportunity)
-   - Identify documents with completeness < 80%
-
-3. **Select focus area** based on priority:
-   | Priority | Topic Area | Documents |
-   |:---|:---|:---|
-   | HIGH | Strategic | Business Plan, SWOT, Value Proposition |
-   | MEDIUM | Market Intel | Competitor Analysis, Market Trends |
-   | LOW | Campaign | Content Pillars, Messaging Framework |
-
----
-
-### Phase 2: Research Execution
-
-4. **Initial Research Query**
-   - Start with a focused, specific query related to the focus area
-   - Example: `"[industry] management software trends [year]"`
-
-5. **Execute web search**
-   - Use WebSearch tool with focused query
-   - Capture top 5-7 results
-
-6. **Extract Knowledge**
-   For each search result, extract:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "query": "original search query",
-     "source": "URL of the source",
-     "learnings": [
-       "Key fact or insight 1",
-       "Key fact or insight 2"
-     ],
-     "confidence": 85,
-     "derivedQueries": [
-       "Follow-up query based on learning 1",
-       "Follow-up query based on learning 2"
-     ]
-   }
-   ```
-
-7. **Log to Research Tracker**
-   - Track: Query -> Results -> Learnings -> Follow-ups
-
----
-
-### Phase 3: Knowledge Integration
-
-8. **Update existing documents** (PREFERRED)
-   - If learning fits existing document section -> enhance it
-   - Add new data points, statistics, competitor info
-   - Update timestamps
-
-9. **Create new section** (if appropriate)
-   - Only if learning reveals entirely new topic area
-   - Must be extremely relevant to the business
-
-10. **Format documents beautifully**
-    - Use structured markdown for visual appeal
-    - Include tables for comparative data
-    - Use H1/H2/H3, lists, quotes
-    - Add emojis sparingly for scanability
-
----
-
-### Phase 4: Session Documentation
-
-11. **Create Research Session Report**
-    ```json
-    {
-      "sessionId": "ULID",
-      "date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
-      "topic": "Research Focus Area",
-      "queriesExecuted": 5,
-      "learningsAcquired": 12,
-      "documentsUpdated": ["value_proposition", "swot"],
-      "derivedQueriesPending": [
-        "Follow-up query 1",
-        "Follow-up query 2"
-      ],
-      "nextSessionPriority": "HIGH"
-    }
-    ```
-
-12. **Update task tracker**
-    - Mark improvements in task list
-    - Add new items for pending derived queries
-
----
-
-## Research Query Framework
-
-### Query Templates by Topic
-
-**Competitor Analysis:**
-- `"[Competitor] pricing [year]"`
-- `"[Competitor] features comparison"`
-- `"[Competitor] customer reviews [year]"`
-
-**Market Trends:**
-- `"[industry] market size [year]"`
-- `"[industry] software trends"`
-- `"B2B SaaS [industry]"`
-
-**Audience Research:**
-- `"[target audience] pain points"`
-- `"[industry] software needs"`
-- `"[user type] app features"`
-
-**Product Positioning:**
-- `"all-in-one [industry] management"`
-- `"[product type] software comparison"`
-- `"[industry] operations automation"`
-
----
-
-## Expert Review Integration
-
-After completing research, invoke `/experts` for validation:
-
-- **Security Expert**: No sensitive data exposed
-- **Architecture Expert**: Document structure valid
-- **UX Expert**: Content follows brand voice
-- **Memory Expert**: Patterns detected, auto-improvements triggered
-
----
-
-## Document Quality Standards
-
-### Visual Format Requirements
-
-Every document must have:
-- Clear H1 title
-- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
-- Structured sections with H2/H3
-- Tables for comparative data
-- Bullet lists for quick scanning
-- Timestamps (created/updated)
-- Source citations where applicable
-
-### Content Quality Checks
-- No placeholder text ("lorem ipsum", "TBD")
-- No outdated data (> 6 months old)
-- No unsupported claims
-- Specific numbers and dates
-- Competitor names and products
-- Actionable insights
-
----
-
-## Example Session Output
-
-```
-## Business Improvement Session
-
-Date: YYYY-MM-DD
-Focus: Competitor Pricing Update
-
-### Queries Executed
-1. "[Competitor A] pricing model [year]" -> 3 learnings
-2. "[Competitor B] subscription tiers" -> 2 learnings
-3. "[Competitor A] vs [Competitor B]" -> 4 learnings
-
-### Knowledge Acquired
-- Competitor A uses flat monthly fee (no commission)
-- Competitor B: $99-499/month based on usage
-- Competitor C: Legacy pricing, higher cost
-- Market trend: Moving away from per-transaction %
-
-### Documents Updated
-- Value Proposition Canvas - Added competitive pricing section
-- SWOT Analysis - Updated threats with pricing pressure
-
-### Derived Queries (Next Session)
-- "[Competitor A] API capabilities"
-- "[Industry] software free trial comparison"
-- "[Market segment] market share [year]"
-
-### Session Score: 4/5
-Learnings: 9 | Documents: 2 | Next queries: 3
-```
-
----
-
-## Automation Hooks
-
-### Recommended Schedule
-- **Weekly**: Run basic improvement cycle (1 focus area)
-- **Monthly**: Deep dive on all priority areas
-- **Quarterly**: Full competitive landscape refresh
-
-### Integration with CLI
-```bash
-# Future enhancement
-cmp-memory improve --topic "competitors"
-cmp-memory improve --pending  # Process derived queries
-cmp-memory improve --status   # Show improvement metrics
-```
-
----
-
-## Success Metrics
-
-The system is working correctly if:
-
-- **Query coverage** - All topic areas researched quarterly
-- **Learning rate** - 5+ new insights per session
-- **Document freshness** - No content older than 3 months
-- **Derived query backlog** - Always have next topics ready
-- **Pattern detection** - Memory Expert finds recurring themes
-
----
-
-## When to Use /business-improvement
-
-### Use When:
-- Need to update market intelligence
-- Competitor released new features/pricing
-- Preparing for investor/client presentations
-- Monthly knowledge refresh cycle
-- After major product launch by competitor
-
-### Don't Use For:
-- Quick fact-checking (use direct web search)
-- Creating new documents from scratch (use `/experts implement`)
-- Trivial content updates (edit directly)
-
----
-
-The `/business-improvement` command transforms your business knowledge base into a **living, self-improving system**. Each research session makes the next one more targeted through derived queries.
-
-**Pro tip**: Run `/business-improvement` weekly on rotating topics to maintain fresh, competitive intelligence.
