What can you do with this Skill?

Horizontal-Vertical Analysis (横纵分析法) deep-research Skill. Proposed by the digital-life figure "Kazik" (数字生命卡兹克), it integrates Saussure's diachronic–synchronic analysis, social-science longitudinal–cross-sectional study designs, business-school case-method thinking, and core ideas from competitive-strategy analysis. Use this when a user wants a systematic, in-depth study of a product, company, concept, technology, or person. The core is a two-axis analysis: the vertical axis traces the full life course from origin to present (presented as a narrative), while the horizontal axis performs a systematic cross-sectional comparison at the present time against competitors/peers. Crossing the two axes yields original insights. The final deliverable is a professionally formatted PDF research report. Trigger phrases include but are not limited to: "horizontal-vertical analysis", "research this", "help me analyze", "deep research", "do some research", "investigate this", "competitive analysis", "take a look at this product/company/thing", "what's this product/company/concept about", "help me figure this out", "help me understand", "do a deep research for me". Even if the user only says "help me understand XX" or "what's the story behind XX", it should trigger when the context implies a need for systematic, in-depth research (rather than a simple definition). It also applies when a user drops a product, company, or technology name and says "research this". Do not use for simple noun definitions (when the user only asks "what is XX"), do not use for writing WeChat public-account articles, and do not use for generating pure titles or summaries.
