• "do OSINT on [person]", "research [person]", "background check on [person]"
• "who is [person]", "find info about [person]", "investigate this person" -> Route to Workflows/PeopleLookup.md

Company OSINT:

• "do OSINT on [company]", "research [company]", "company intelligence"
• "what can you find about [company]", "investigate [company]" -> Route to Workflows/CompanyLookup.md

Investment Due Diligence:

• "due diligence on [company]", "vet [company]", "is [company] legitimate"
• "assess [company]", "should we work with [company]" -> Route to Workflows/CompanyDueDiligence.md

Entity/Threat Intel:

• "investigate [domain]", "threat intelligence on [entity]", "is this domain malicious"
• "research this threat actor", "check [domain]", "analyze [entity]" -> Route to Workflows/EntityLookup.md
