What market-landscape-scan does
Map a market's structure using a workflow, not a one-shot answer: **search plan → segmentation → player mapping → dynamics → whitespace → next-step options.** The output is the landscape view that everything downstream stands on — sizing needs to know the segments, positioning needs to know the players, and competitor deep-dives need to know who's worth the effort. This skill maps structure, not magnitude: it tells you who plays where and why, not how big the prize is.
