Our team has been working on perovskite solar cell stability for two years. We want to identify specific research tracks within additive engineering to solve degradation. Can you scan literature and web sources, and give us ranked options so we can pick our next project?

| Scans at least 80 papers in the literature search step | Missed | Passed |
| Reads at least 30 web pages in full during web investigation | Missed | Passed |

| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| deep-web-search | Full-page web reading for non-academic perspectives — blogs, tech reports, product pages, industry analysis. Spawns a subagent to read pages in isolated context. Hard constraint: at least 30 web pages read in full. |
| north-star-crystallization-broad-paper-search | Paper landscape scan within selected field(s). Strict import of literature-engine/literature-overview skill. Hard constraint: at least 80 papers scanned. |
