bmad-research

BMAD’s Analysis-phase research capability — three sibling skills dispatched by bmad-analyst, one page here since they share a workflow shape and all emit artifact-research-md:

• bmad-market-research (MR) — competition, customers, market sizing.
• bmad-domain-research (DR) — industry / domain deep dive.
• bmad-technical-research (TR) — technology and architecture feasibility.

Research grounds the align stage in evidence before a brief or PRD is written; its output “is input” to the bmad-product-brief and bmad-prd workflows.
