+## research
+
+Music industry research — streaming metrics, audience demographics, playlist placements, competitive analysis, and web intelligence. All data is accessed through your `RECOUP_API_KEY`.
+
+Artist-scoped commands (like `metrics`, `audience`, `similar`) accept an **artist name** or a **Recoup artist ID** (UUID). The API resolves the artist automatically. If the name is ambiguous (multiple matches), the API returns the top results for disambiguation.
