## If Something Goes Wrong
- **Company is too small/new for public info:** Note what's missing. Suggest: "Can you share anything they sent you? Internal docs help fill gaps."
- **News is stale (nothing in 90 days):** Widen to 6 months but flag: "Limited recent activity — could signal stability or stagnation."
- **Can't determine why role is open:** Say so. Suggest asking in the interview.

## After Output
- "Ready to prep for the interview? `/interview-prep`"
- "Want to practice? `/mock-interview` for a simulated interview"

## Rules
- Use web search for current info — never rely on stale data
- Flag anything that changed recently
- Be specific: "they launched X in February" beats "they're growing"
- Connect every insight to interview strategy
