Builds an ideal customer profile from evidence: case studies, testimonials, customer logos, solutions pages, reviews and any sales notes you have. Produces market sizing layers, firmographic segments, a champion and an economic buyer persona, a negative ICP, intent signals, customer proof points and a voice-of-customer section in the buyers' own words, every claim sourced. Triggers: "ICP research", "ideal customer profile", "who are our customers", "customer segments", "buyer personas…

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

# ICP research

Work out who actually buys, who signs, who uses it and who isn't a fit, from what customers have said and done in public and in your own records. The output is the ICP file every later skill reads before it writes a word.

## When to use it

- Building the context folder, right after `/company-context`.
- Before positioning or messaging work, when nobody can say who the best customers are in one sentence.
- When sales keeps chasing deals that don't close and you suspect the target is too broad.

Don't use it to analyse sales calls (`/win-loss`) or competitors (`/competitor-research`).

## Inputs

**Required:** the company website URL. If it's missing, ask.

**Recommended:** `context/company/` from `/company-context`; links to case studies and testimonials; a customer list or CRM export (strip names and emails first); sales notes on wins and objections; any existing ICP document to check against.

If a recommended input is missing, run from what you have and list what's missing in the data gaps section.

**Paths.** Write to `context/icp/MMYY-icp.md`. Agency or consultant? Swap `context/` for `clients/<client>/context/` throughout.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add matteotitta/repo-structure-in-house/icp-research@sha256:e7e7c52141481c1b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
