#Write an effective TradeClaw research request

A useful TradeClaw request names the research target, business decision, scope, time range, and evidence expected from the answer.

#Who this is for

Use this guide when a broad question needs to become a reviewable company, buyer, market, competitor, or trade research task.

#Start with the decision

Open TradeClaw and begin a new session. First state what you need to decide, such as which buyer segment to approach, whether a market deserves further validation, or how two companies compare.

Then add:

• Target company, country, market, buyer type, or competitor.
• Product or service scope.
• Relevant time range.
• Required comparison criteria.
• Preferred output language and format.
• Sources or evidence needed, plus facts that must remain unknown when unsupported.

#Use a focused request structure

Try this pattern:

We need to decide [decision] for [product/company] in [market]. Research [questions] for [time range]. Compare [criteria], cite the important sources, separate facts from inference, and list missing or conflicting evidence. Return the result as [format] in [language].

Avoid prompts such as “Tell me about this market” when the answer must support a business decision.

#Add context without inventing facts

Attach relevant files when they contain the product, company, or customer context needed for the task. You can also use voice input and review the transcription before sending.

Do not present assumptions as verified facts. Label internal estimates, unconfirmed customer statements, and desired outcomes clearly so TradeClaw can keep them separate from researched evidence.

#Continue after the first answer

Use the same session to narrow a segment, compare a source, request missing evidence, or ask how a conclusion was reached. Start a new session when the objective changes so the saved title and history remain understandable.

#FAQ

#How long should a TradeClaw request be?

Use enough detail to identify the target, decision, scope, and evidence needed. A short structured paragraph is usually more useful than a long unfocused brief.

#Should I ask several unrelated questions at once?

No. Keep one research objective in each session and use follow-up questions for dependent details. Start a new session when the business objective changes.

#Can I ask TradeClaw to use a specific language or format?

Yes. State the output language and the useful business format, such as a comparison table, shortlist, decision summary, or list of unknowns.
