## Detailed description

**Deep Research Brief Agent** turns a research goal + seed entities into a machine-readable brief:

1. **Scope** — question, entities, constraints, time horizon  
2. **Findings** — ranked bullets with confidence  
3. **Evidence** — sources / links / notes (agent-supplied or placeholder slots)  
4. **Risks & unknowns** — what is not known yet  
5. **Implications** — so-what for intro, invest, hire, or partner  
6. **Next research** — follow-up queries  

Output: `brief.json` + `brief.md` suitable for CRM attach or human review.

Does **not** invent proprietary paywalled data. Prefer confirmed evidence; mark speculation.

## Outline

1. Lock research question and entities
2. Gather inputs (URLs, notes, prior scorecards)

4. Surface risks / unknowns
5. Emit brief.md + brief.json + next queries

## Capabilities
