benchmark-methodology

benchmark-methodology is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from unrealandychan/clean-code-skill. It costs 72 tokens per session (2,223 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of benchmark-methodology, MIT.

A repeatable scoring method for comparing competitors across the same set of business and communication criteria. It uses explicit scores and supporting evidence rather than informal impressions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after selecting competitors to assess positioning, voice, visual quality, pricing, evidence, enterprise readiness, and other defined dimensions.
Why use it?
It makes competitor comparisons more consistent and easier to defend. A shared scoring method reduces the risk that each competitor is judged by different standards.

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

benchmark-methodology 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 1mo 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.

Benchmark Methodology

Use this skill to turn a scoped competitor set into comparable, defensible scores. Each competitor is assessed on the same nine dimensions, with explicit 1–5 rubrics, then captured in a uniform profile card. Consistency is the point: scores are only useful if the same evidence would earn the same number for any competitor.

When to Activate

  • A scoped, tiered competitor set from competitive-platform-analysis is ready to score.
  • Need comparable, evidence-anchored scores across competitors — not gut-feel rankings.
  • Client's strategic tension (the paired axes defining their target white-space) has been established.
  • Preparing to produce profile cards for assembly in competitive-report-structure.

Client positioning brief (establish first)

Before scoring, establish the client's positioning brief. It supplies:

  • Strategic tension — the two axes (e.g., memorability × hireability) whose intersection marks the client's target white-space. Dimension 9 is always the client's named tension; report both poles separately, never averaged.
  • Differentiator — what makes the client's moat. This informs which dimensions matter most for the client's positioning argument.
  • Brand balance — the intended mix of distinct strategic emphases. Strategic recommendations must not break this balance without flagging it.

Why these dimensions

The client competes on a specific tension held across two poles, not on service breadth. The dimensions are weighted to reflect that moat. Two dimensions — the tension poles — are scored separately and never averaged together, because the client's strategic question is precisely whether a rival achieves both simultaneously.

The nine dimensions (with weights)

Weights guide synthesis emphasis, not a single blended score (avoid a false composite — see Bias controls). Sum = 100%.

  1. Positioning clarity & distinctiveness (18%) — Is the studio's position sharp, ownable, and instantly legible? Or generic?
  2. Brand voice / verbal distinctiveness (15%) — Does the copy have an ownable register, or is it interchangeable agency-speak?
  3. Visual identity & site craft (15%) — Quality and ownership of the visual system; site as proof-of-craft.
  4. Service offer & packaging (12%) — Productized and legible (named sprints/audits) vs vague. Packaging maturity.
  5. Evidence & credibility (12%) — Named clients, quantified outcomes, case-study depth. Proof beyond assertion.
  6. Enterprise-readiness / commercial maturity (10%) — Signals they can land and hold SaaS/fintech/B2B/enterprise work (process, logos, scale, contracts).
  7. Thought leadership / content presence (8%) — Owned POV: writing, talks, newsletters, frameworks. Depth over volume.
  8. Pricing transparency & engagement model (5%) — Is pricing/engagement legible? Productized vs bespoke vs opaque.
  9. [Client's strategic tension] (5% as a flag; score BOTH poles, report separately) — Read the tension name and axis descriptions from the client's positioning brief. Plot both; the gap is the insight. The client's target quadrant is the single most important finding: who else is already there?

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.
