Go outside the founder brief and research the real market before the plan is written: the exact communities, newsletters, and venues where the user's ICP already sits, how comparable products launched and what worked, the problem in strangers' own words, and the rivals and openings the user never mentioned. Saves docs/gtm-cofounder/market-research.md with a link for every finding. Use right after start-here and before strategy-and-roadmap, before picking channels in first-50-users or planning…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Research the market (what you didn't tell me) > The brief is what you know. A plan built only from the brief can only rearrange your own answers back to you. This is the step where the agent goes out and finds what you don't know yet: where your users actually are, how products like yours got their first users, and the openings you haven't seen. **Use this when:** you've just written the brief and want a plan grounded in the real market, not just your own read. Or you're about to pick channels or plan a launch and "post on Reddit and HN" is the best idea on the table. Or the roadmap you got back felt like a tidy summary of what you said. ## The core idea The interview pulls out what's in your head. Research brings in what isn't: the specific subreddit where your ICP complained about this exact problem last week, the newsletter they all read, the three products in your space that launched in the last two years and what actually brought their first users, the competitor you didn't name. …

How to install
mdr add aidevgtm/gtm-cofounder/research-the-market@sha256:327bafe539046af3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.670025b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
