The research prompt that turns Gemini into your expansion analyst
Hey Adopter,
Your CFO asks for a business case to expand into Germany. You need market size, competitive analysis, regulatory requirements, and financial projections. The report is due in two weeks.
You have three options.
Option one: Hire McKinsey for $150,000 and wait three months.
Option two: Wing it with Google searches and hope your assumptions hold.
Option three: Don’t expand at all because the research phase is too expensive or too vague.
Most companies pick option three. They have talked about expansion for years. They never move.
The actual problem
Market research is not hard because data is unavailable. Competitive intelligence is public. Market sizes are published. Regulatory requirements are documented. Customer preferences are surveyed.
Market research is hard because most people do not know what questions to ask, in what order, or how to synthesize answers into a decision framework.
Consultants sell you the question sequence, not proprietary data. They follow a research script: market sizing, competitive landscape, regulatory environment, customer requirements, operational setup, financial viability, risk assessment. They score markets on consistent criteria. They build phased entry plans with milestones and budgets.
You are paying $150,000 for a structured question list.
The script is replicable. What stopped you from running it yourself was the research time. Answering 40 detailed questions across seven domains takes weeks if you are doing it manually.
AI research tools changed the math.
What deep research tools actually do
Gemini Deep Research and Manus run multi-step research that takes 10-20 minutes instead of weeks. They break your brief into sub-questions, search multiple sources, cross-reference findings, and synthesize a structured report.
The constraint is prompt quality. Ask vague questions, get generic summaries. Feed them a detailed research brief with specific questions and required outputs, get consultant-level analysis.
What this prompt does
Seven research domains:
Output: Executive summary, market scoring matrix, detailed entry plan with phases, budgets, timelines, and KPIs.
Who needs this
Ambitious professionals: Pitch expansion to leadership without hiring consultants.
Business consultants: Turn this into a $50K client engagement in days instead of months.
The output needs validation. Check sources, verify assumptions, stress-test numbers. But you start with structure, not a blank page. Cuts research time 60-70%.
The tools
Google’s Gemini Deep Research is built for this. It runs extended research sessions, follows complex instructions, and produces structured reports. Free tier gives you limited queries. Paid tier removes restrictions.
Manus works too. It handles multi-step research briefs, searches in real-time, and structures findings into reports. Sign up for Manus and get free credits
Both tools need the same thing: a detailed research brief that specifies what to research, how to structure findings, and what format to deliver.
The complete market entry research prompt is below. Copy it into Gemini Deep Research or Perplexity, fill in your company details and target markets, and run it. You will get back a 3,000-5,000 word strategic plan with competitive analysis, financial projections, and a 24-month execution timeline.
