# Visual Generation Guide for Market Research Reports

Complete prompts and guidance for generating visualizations in market research reports.

---

## Overview

Market research reports should start with **5-6 essential visuals** to establish the analytical framework. Additional visuals can be generated as needed when writing specific sections. This guide provides ready-to-use prompts for the `scientific-schematics` and `generate-image` skills.

### Core Visuals (Generate First - Priority 1-6)

Start every market report by generating these 5-6 core visuals:

1. **Market Growth Trajectory Chart** - Shows market size trends
2. **TAM/SAM/SOM Diagram** - Market opportunity breakdown
3. **Porter's Five Forces** - Competitive dynamics framework
4. **Competitive Positioning Matrix** - Strategic positioning
5. **Risk Heatmap** - Risk assessment visualization
6. **Executive Summary Infographic** (optional) - Report overview

### Extended Visuals (Generate as Needed - Priority 7+)

Additional visuals can be generated during writing when specific sections require visual support:
- Regional breakdown charts
- Segment analysis
- Customer journey maps
- Technology roadmaps
- Regulatory timelines
- Financial projections
- Implementation timelines

### Tool Selection

| Visual Type | Tool | Rationale |
|-------------|------|-----------|
| Charts (bar, line, pie) | scientific-schematics | Precise data representation |
| Diagrams (flow, structure) | scientific-schematics | Clear technical layouts |
| Matrices (2x2, positioning) | scientific-schematics | Strategic frameworks |
| Timelines | scientific-schematics | Sequential information |
| Infographics | generate-image | Creative visual synthesis |
| Conceptual illustrations | generate-image | Abstract concepts |

## Batch Generation Script

For convenience, use the `generate_market_visuals.py` script to batch generate visuals:

```bash
# Generate core 5-6 visuals only (recommended for starting reports)
python skills/market-research-reports/scripts/generate_market_visuals.py \
  --topic "Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure" \
  --output-dir figures/

# Generate all 27 visuals (core + extended, for comprehensive coverage)
python skills/market-research-reports/scripts/generate_market_visuals.py \
  --topic "Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure" \
  --output-dir figures/ \
  --all

# Skip already generated files
python skills/market-research-reports/scripts/generate_market_visuals.py \
  --topic "Your Market" \
  --output-dir figures/ \
  --skip-existing
```

**Default behavior**: Generates only the 5-6 core priority visuals. Use `--all` flag if you need comprehensive visual coverage for all sections.
