Modular Deep Research Newsletter Prompt Workflow – Market Research

created by prompts.tinytechguides.com

What this Workflow Does:

This workflow provides a structured method for conducting deep, weekly research on any market or strategic domain. It helps analysts or AI agents identify timely, high-value insights from trusted sources, filter them using targeted keywords, categorize findings by functional area, and summarize each item into concise, actionable takeaways. The result is a clean, executive-ready briefing that surfaces key implications, opportunities, risks, and emerging signals — all organized for decision-making, not just information overload.

Workflow Steps Summary:

Step 0: Define Inputs
Step 1: Source Discovery & Time Filtering
Step 2: Apply Strategic Keyword Filtering
Step 3: Categorize by Functional Area
Step 4: Extract Strategic Implications
Step 5: Compile Final Briefing

Step 0: Define Inputs (with Example Defaults)

Template:

• {time_window = “past 7 days”}

• {topic_scope = “target market or technology focus”}

• {functional_categories = [”function1”, “function2”, “function3”, ...]}

• {priority_keywords = [”keyword1”, “keyword2”, “keyword3”, ...]}

• {publications = [”source1”, “source2”, “source3”, ...]}

• {strategic_focus = “business implications, partnerships, risks, market shifts, etc.”}

• {output_title = “Your Custom Briefing Title”}

• {output_format = “Grouped by {functional_categories} with 2–3 bullet-point insights per group.”}

Step 1: Source Discovery & Time Filtering

Goal: Find fresh content from flagship sources in the last {time_window}.

#Role

You are a strategic market intelligence analyst focused on {topic_scope}.

#Context

You are conducting a research scan to identify meaningful developments from the past {time_window} across top-tier sources relevant to {topic_scope}.

#Task

Search for original, high-signal content (news, blogs, reports, research summaries) published in the last {time_window} from the following sources: {publications}.

Filter out reposts, summaries, or generic announcements. Focus on items that reflect movement in the market — new products, deals, use cases, funding, or research insights.

#Format

Return a list with:

(a) Title

(b) Date

(c) Source

(d) 2–3 sentence summary

(e) Link (if allowed)

#Tone

Concise, strategic, and factual. Avoid filler language.

Step 2: Apply Strategic Keyword Filtering

Goal: Isolate content that’s clearly aligned with priority trends using {priority_keywords}.

#Role

You are a market research analyst extracting trend-relevant intelligence from a set of headlines and summaries.

#Context

You have gathered a list of recent items from flagship sources. Now you must isolate those that align with key topics in {topic_scope}.

#Task

Using this list of keywords — {priority_keywords} — filter the research to only include content that directly references one or more of these keywords in a meaningful way.

Ignore items that reference them in passing or have no strategic or product impact.

#Format

For each matched item, include:

(a) Matched Keyword(s)

(b) Title

(c) Summary (max 3 lines)

(d) 1-sentence explanation of strategic relevance

#Tone

Crisp and executive-ready. Focus on signal, not fluff.

Step 3: Categorize by Functional Area

Goal: Group filtered content by {functional_categories}.

#Role

You are organizing strategic insights into functional categories for structured analysis.

#Context

You now have a list of filtered items relevant to {topic_scope}. Your goal is to bucket them into the most appropriate function area to enable targeted decision-making.

#Task

For each item, assign it to one of the following categories: {functional_categories}.

Use best judgment when multiple categories apply — pick the one with the most strategic fit.

#Format

Group by category name. Under each category, list:

(a) Title

(b) Source

(c) 1-line functional summary

(d) Why it belongs in this category

#Tone

Clear, structured, analytical.
