Research Ops Skills
Use when planning, funding, scoping, or synthesizing enterprise research across workstreams — clinical study design, R&D program finance, market sizing/surveys, or product/user research.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Market sizing is crucial for enterprise planning. I can help you think through this. What's your target industry vertical? Do you have existing customer data to build on? What budget do you have for research? Are you looking at TAM first or want to focus on SAM and SOM? I'd recommend starting with some secondary research, but let me know what approach fits your timeline and I can help structure it.
MARKET SIZING RESEARCH PLAN → METHODOLOGY FRAMEWORK Primary: 40 enterprise buyer interviews (15m each, 7 days) Secondary: Analyst reports + pricing benchmarks (5 reports) TAM via: 50k-company universe × 35% software spend × $2.4M avg budget Estimated TAM: $42B (Conservative estimate - not a prediction) → SAMPLE DESIGN & SIZING Target personas: CTO, VP Engineering, Director Operations Company size: 500-10k employees (excludes SMB distortion) Geographic focus: US + Europe (70% revenue pool) Required n=40 for 95% confidence, ±15% margin Trap: unequal sampling by role distorts buyer journey → BUDGET BREAKDOWN Interviews + recruitment: $8k Analyst reports: $6.5k Tools + analysis: $2k Timeline: 14 days start-to-synthesis → FIRST STEPS 1. Source 8 warmintros to target personas (not cold outreach) 2. Build interview guide around top 6 pain points 3. Schedule recruiting kick-off by Thursday (compresses timeline)

Research Ops Skills
Use when planning, funding, scoping, or synthesizing enterprise research across workstreams — clinical study design, R&D program finance, market sizing/surveys, or product/user research. Triggers on "design this clinical study", "what sample size", "R&D budget", "burn rate", "capitalize or expense", "TAM SAM SOM", "market sizing", "survey design", "segment the market", "plan user interviews", "usability test", "synthesize research insights". Forks context to route to one of four Research-Operations sub-skills (clinical-research, research-finance, market-research, product-research) and returns a digest. Distinct from ra-qm-team (regulatory submission), finance (corporate close/valuation), research/grants (funding discovery), product-team (persona/journey/live experiments), and marketing-skill (campaign analytics).
