# Deep Research: AI-powered market intelligence
> Combine a client's internal strategy with live, cited web research to produce professional-grade reports — premium differentiation in a coffee break.
{/*

## Why this matters
Imagine handing a client a strategic recommendation backed by live market evidence, cited
sources, and findings tied directly to their own goals — in the first week of the engagement.
**Deep Research** combines the client's internal strategy with real-time web research to produce
the kind of cited, professional-grade report that's normally the output of a multi-day research
team. It's the capability that changes the conversation from *"here's what I think"* to *"here's
what the evidence shows."*
## Run a Deep Research report
On the **Reports** page, open the **Create** menu and choose **New Deep Research
Report** — it's a separate capability from standard executive reports, available to
consultant (partner) accounts working in a client organisation they manage. (See the
[Deep Research feature page](/features/deep-research) for the full reference.)
Choose the **source report** — an existing executive report, so the AI understands the
internal context — and add **custom instructions**, for example *"Research competitive
dynamics in the Australian market for this sector."* The dialog also shows your
remaining monthly usage. The result speaks to the client's situation, not a generic
template with their name pasted on top.
Select **Generate Report** and follow the live progress — a running percentage, the
number of **sources analysed**, and a narration of what the AI is doing as it reads,
filters for relevance, and builds a synthesis against the client's priorities. This
typically takes a few minutes.
The finished report has a clear narrative, strategic implications, and recommendations — all
anchored to the client's own strategy. Every source is cited with a clickable link, so the
client can verify the research themselves.
Download a professionally formatted **PDF** with citations included, or **Share** it with
stakeholders using the same role-based access as any report.
In a market where trust in AI is still being earned, **citations are the feature that lets you
put your name on the work.** A client clicking through to verify a source is a level of
transparency almost no consulting deliverable offers today.
## The value you're delivering
* **A week of analyst work in a coffee break** — the research hasn't disappeared, but your margin
on it has improved dramatically.
* **Evidence, not opinion** — findings drawn from live sources and tied to the client's specific
strategic context.
* **Verifiable and premium** — full citations build trust and clearly differentiate you from
other advisors.
