# Research Wizard Implementation Summary

## Implementation Complete

A modular, pluggable research component has been successfully implemented with wizard-based UI that can be tested independently and integrated into the blog writer.

---

## Backend Implementation

### 1. Research Models (blog_models.py)

**New Enums:**
- `ResearchMode`: `BASIC`, `COMPREHENSIVE`, `TARGETED`
- `SourceType`: `WEB`, `ACADEMIC`, `NEWS`, `INDUSTRY`, `EXPERT`
- `DateRange`: `LAST_WEEK` through `ALL_TIME`

**New Models:**
```python
class ResearchConfig(BaseModel):
    mode: ResearchMode = ResearchMode.BASIC
    date_range: Optional[DateRange] = None
    source_types: List[SourceType] = []
    max_sources: int = 10
    include_statistics: bool = True
    include_expert_quotes: bool = True
    include_competitors: bool = True
    include_trends: bool = True
```

**Enhanced BlogResearchRequest:**
- Added `research_mode: Optional[ResearchMode]`
- Added `config: Optional[ResearchConfig]`
- **Backward compatible** - defaults to existing behavior

### 2. Strategy Pattern (research_strategies.py)

**New file:** `backend/services/blog_writer/research/research_strategies.py`

**Three Strategy Classes:**
1. **BasicResearchStrategy**: Quick keyword-focused analysis
2. **ComprehensiveResearchStrategy**: Full analysis with all components
3. **TargetedResearchStrategy**: Customizable components based on config

**Factory Function:**
```python
get_strategy_for_mode(mode: ResearchMode) -> ResearchStrategy
```

### 3. Service Integration (research_service.py)

**Key Changes:**
- Imports strategy factory and models
- Uses strategy pattern in both `research()` and `research_with_progress()` methods
- Automatically selects strategy based on `research_mode`
- Backward compatible - defaults to BASIC if not specified

**Line Changes:**
```python
# Lines 88-96: Determine research mode and get appropriate strategy
research_mode = request.research_mode or ResearchMode.BASIC
config = request.config or ResearchConfig(mode=research_mode)
strategy = get_strategy_for_mode(research_mode)

logger.info(f"Using research mode: {research_mode.value}")

# Build research prompt based on strategy
research_prompt = strategy.build_research_prompt(topic, industry, target_audience, config)
```
