A research process for defining an ideal customer profile: a description of the type of customer most likely to need and buy a product. It covers their needs, objections, buying process, communities, and language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research buyer personas, identify pain points and buying triggers, find where target customers gather online, and develop audience-specific messaging.
Why use it?
It turns a vague target audience into specific customer groups and problems. That makes it easier to understand who to reach and what matters to them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

icp-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ICP Research

Build comprehensive ideal customer profiles for targeted marketing, including community discovery and voice-of-customer language extraction.

Workflow

1. Gather Product Context

  • What do you sell?
  • Key features and differentiators
  • Pricing model and range
  • Current customers (who buys today?)

2. Define Market

  • Industry / vertical
  • Company size (employees, revenue)
  • Geography
  • B2B vs. B2C vs. B2B2C

3. Build Persona

Demographics:

  • Job title and seniority level
  • Department and reporting structure
  • Company size and revenue range
  • Industry and sub-vertical
  • Geography and timezone

Psychographics:

  • Daily responsibilities (what fills their calendar)
  • Goals they are measured on (KPIs, OKRs)
  • Frustrations and daily friction
  • Career aspirations
  • How they stay informed (publications, podcasts, communities)

Buying Behavior:

  • Who influences the decision?
  • Who approves the budget?
  • What is the buying process? (self-serve, demo, RFP, committee)
  • Evaluation criteria (price, features, support, integration)
  • Typical buying timeline

4. Map Pain Points

Category Questions to Answer
Time What takes too long? What manual work do they hate?
Money Where are they wasting budget? What costs too much?
Risk What keeps them up at night? What could go wrong?
Quality Where is output inconsistent or error-prone?
Growth What blocks them from scaling?

Score each pain point: Frequency (1-10) x Intensity (1-10) = Priority Score

5. Identify Objections

Objection Type Response Strategy
Price ROI calculation, cost of inaction, payment flexibility
Time Quick setup, done-for-you options, time-to-value metrics
Trust Social proof, case studies, free trial/pilot, guarantees
Need Cost of status quo, competitor pressure, market trends
Authority Executive summary, ROI one-pager, pilot proposal

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
