# How to Research Best Practices with OpenClaw

OpenClaw applies deep research to structured intelligence gathering at scale, treating research as a systematic operation rather than an ad-hoc exploration. Submit multiple research queries across different topics, markets, or technologies and receive consistently formatted reports that can be compared side by side, aggregated into larger analyses, or fed into decision frameworks. Built for organizations that need reproducible research output across teams, where consistency of format and depth matters as much as the findings themselves.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask: "Research best practices for [topic/process]"
3. OpenClaw delivers a comprehensive best practices analysis
4. Request: "What should we implement first for the biggest impact?"
5. Implement practices in priority order based on the research

## Example Prompt

```
Research best practices for remote team management. What do successful distributed companies do that others miss?
```

## Tips

- Ask for practices that work specifically for your team size and industry
- Request anti-patterns -- knowing what not to do is as valuable as knowing what to do
- Look for practices with measurable outcomes you can track
