Account Research
Somebody on the team has already researched this account. It rarely helps: the next person starts again from a blank search bar. This skill does the work once, properly: the account's own record plus outside evidence, read against the ICP, Persona, Signals, Products and Competitors memories RevOps keeps, returning what the company is, how it fits and what has changed, with sources, confidence and open gaps. The result follows the account: sourcing tests fit with it, reps prep meetings from it, managers review deals against it. And the method itself improves, because missing evidence and what happens downstream feed each new version.

Research on repeat
Sourcing, the weekly priority call and deal review each depend on how well the company is understood, and that changes with who last looked.

Building next quarter's target account list
Fit judged rep by rep
RevOps drafts the list, reps fill gaps with searches and data tools. Whether a company genuinely fits is judged differently desk to desk.
Each prompt invents its own method
A prompt returns a tidy company summary, but with no shared fit test every rep still reads it their own way, and the list stays uneven.
A list that already fits your ICP
Each account arrives researched one way and judged against the ICP RevOps owns, evidence attached. Poor fits never reach the list.
80 accounts on the list, five days to work them
The loudest accounts win the week
With no current read on the accounts, reps work the familiar names and recent inbounds. Better-fitting companies sit untouched all week.
Ranked on someone else's signals
A generic ranking weighs signals your team never chose, because your Signals memory and ICP were never inside it.
Calls go to the accounts that earn them
The week opens with accounts ordered by evidenced fit and live signals. Reps spend their calls where the research says it counts.
The deal review reopens an account last researched at sourcing
Researched again for the meeting
Before the manager asks, the rep rebuilds the company from old notes and a fresh search. What sourcing learned never reached the review.
The public web, reread from scratch
A fresh summary reads the public web and misses what the deal itself has learned, so the review hears less than the account already knows.
The review opens already informed
The review starts from current understanding: what changed since sourcing, judged by the same fit test. Nobody rebuilds it.

The GTM teams that learn fastest will win. Build yours a system that learns.
An advantage competitors cannot buy back: years of success and failure, codified.
A way of doing research that an AI agent can be handed and held to: which sources to read, how to judge fit against your ICP and Persona memories, how to state confidence and what to flag as unknown. Written down once, versioned, and shared by every capability that needs to understand an account.
By codifying the method once: the sources to check, the fit test from your ICP memory, which signals count, how confidence and gaps are stated. Every capability that needs account context invokes that same method, so the research reads the same whoever, or whatever, asked for it.
A prompt is one person's instruction, written fresh each time and gone when the chat ends. A skill is the method itself: written down, versioned, applying the ICP, Persona and Signals definitions your team approved, and revised when outcomes show it missed something. The method outlives its author.
Wherever the account comes up next: the list build through Account Sourcing, the pre-meeting briefing through Meeting Preparation, the deal verdict through Deal Assessment, while Web Research works both ways, feeding the research and reading it. Built once, consulted many times.
People get their own method: Contact Research covers the individuals and how much each matters to the deal. Account Research owns the company itself: fit against your ICP, live signals, which of your products apply and the competitive picture from your Competitors memory. Briefings draw on both.
