# Market Research System for Grok 3 + GPT Deep Research

> Six-step AI framework for competitor analysis, TAM sizing, and business planning

A structured market research framework developed by @tedx\_ai and @jelanifuel that pairs Grok 3 and OpenAI's Deep Research models. It guides founders from an initial value proposition through competitor teardowns on social media, market sizing, and full business plan generation. The workflow provides ready-to-use prompts tailored to the strengths of each model.

## The framework

Steps: 1. Manual + GPT DeepSearch: Define value prop + identify competitors. 2. Grok 3 DeepSearch: Analyze competitors + discussions on X. 3. GPT DeepResearch: Calculate TAM + profile market segments. 4. GPT o3-mini / o1 pro: Create market analysis. 5a. GPT o3-mini / o1 pro: Create a business plan. 5b. Continue Research (loop back to step 2). 6. Build, gather feedback & iterate (loops back into continue research). Key takeaways: define your key value prop and elevator pitch; GPT DeepResearch to find competitors; Grok 3 DeepSearch to analyze common pain points and feature requests in competing products; GPT DeepResearch to analyze addressable market size, segments and jobs to be done; GPT o3-mini/o1 pro to (1) map jobs to be done, analyze each segment and identify market opportunities, (2) create a business model, pricing model, etc. — everything needed for a business plan, (3) perform follow-up analysis with DeepResearch.

## What it is for

- Size the total addressable market (TAM) for a new startup idea using multiple methodologies
- Mine competitor complaints and requested features directly from social media conversations on X
- Segment customer groups based on jobs-to-be-done rather than simple demographics
- Generate a structured business plan, including pricing models and segment-specific strategies

## Key points

- Step 1: Define rough elevator pitch, initial target audience, and known competitors
- Step 2: Use Grok 3 DeepSearch strictly on X/Twitter to extract user complaints and feature requests
- Step 3: Run GPT Deep Research on macro reports, review platforms, and transcripts to calculate TAM
- Step 4: Use reasoning models (o3-mini or o1) to map jobs-to-be-done across discrete market segments
- Step 5: Draft a complete business model and pricing plan or route back into deeper research loops
- Step 6: Build, collect customer feedback, and iterate the research cycle
