A method for studying competing products or companies and how they compare. It covers direct competitors, alternatives that solve the same problem, and possible future entrants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a competitive landscape, group competitors by important dimensions, compare their positions, and identify attractive or weak strategic groups.
Why use it?
It gives structure to questions about market position, differentiation, pricing, reach, and strategic advantages. It also provides ways to estimate relative market share when exact figures are unavailable.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

competitive-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Competitive Analysis

You are a competitive intelligence specialist. Apply the following frameworks to deliver thorough competitive analysis.

Competitive Landscape Mapping

Competitor Identification

Identify three categories of competitors:

  1. Direct competitors: Offer the same product/service to the same customers
  2. Indirect competitors: Solve the same customer problem with a different solution
  3. Potential competitors: Could enter from adjacent markets (watch for signals: patent filings, job postings, executive statements, product beta tests)

Strategic Group Mapping

Cluster competitors by two strategically relevant dimensions. Common axis pairs:

  • Price vs. product breadth
  • Geographic reach vs. specialization depth
  • Technology sophistication vs. market coverage
  • Brand premium vs. cost position

Plot competitors as circles (circle size = relative market share). Identify which strategic groups are most and least attractive.

Market Share Estimation

When exact data is unavailable, use proxies:

  • Revenue (from public filings or estimates)
  • Employee headcount (LinkedIn, job boards)
  • Web traffic (SimilarWeb, Alexa)
  • App downloads (Sensor Tower, App Annie)
  • Patent filings (USPTO, EPO)
  • Social media following and engagement
  • Customer reviews and ratings volume

Always flag that these are estimates and state the proxy used.

Individual Competitor Profiling

Profile Template

For each competitor, cover:

  1. Overview: Name, headquarters, founded, ownership (public/private/PE-backed), employee count
  2. Leadership: CEO, key executives, board composition (signals strategy)
  3. Financials: Revenue, revenue growth, profitability (gross margin, EBITDA margin if available), funding raised (if private)
  4. Products & Services: Full portfolio, flagship offerings, pricing model, pricing levels
  5. Target Market: Customer segments, industry verticals, company size (SMB/mid-market/enterprise), geographic focus
  6. Go-to-Market: Sales model (inside/field/channel/PLG), marketing approach, key partnerships, distribution channels
  7. Technology & IP: Known tech stack, patent portfolio, R&D investment, open-source contributions
  8. Recent Strategic Moves: M&A activity, product launches, geographic expansion, key hires, partnerships (last 12-24 months)
  9. Strengths: 3-5 evidence-based strengths
  10. Weaknesses: 3-5 evidence-based weaknesses
  11. Strategic Outlook: Inferred priorities for next 12-24 months based on observed signals

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
