SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It turns scattered competitor research into a structured analysis with positioning, feature comparisons, and actionable recommendations, including hard-to-research competitors like JS-rendered SPA sites and regional apps invisible to standard tools. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Competitor Dossiers: Build per-competitor profiles covering positioning, pricing, strengths, weaknesses, funding, and recent launches using G2 reviews, BuiltWith, Crunchbase, and Wayback Machine. - SPA and Zero-Result Research: Extract pricing and feature data from JavaScript bundles via curl when webFetch and webSearch return nothing, plus App Store and local-language search for regional markets. - Deliverables and Monitoring: Produce a slide deck or jsPDF-based PDF report with feature matrices and 2x2 positioning maps, then set up ongoing monitoring via Slack, Teams, or Google Alerts with a monthly ritual checklist. - Use Case: A founder asks "Who are my competitors and how do we compare?" and receives a sourced report with a feature matrix, white-space analysis, and three specific actions. ## Quick Start Run a competitive analysis of my product against these competitors and deliver it as a written report with a feature matrix and positioning map.

Frequently Asked Questions about competitive-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I do a competitive analysis for my product?▼

Provide your product, target customer, and known competitors. The analysis expands the competitor set via G2 alternatives searches, builds per-competitor dossiers with pricing and review-based strengths and weaknesses, then synthesizes a feature matrix, positioning map, and specific recommendations.

How to research a competitor when web search returns no results?▼

Use curl on the competitor homepage and JS bundle to extract pricing, features, and copy from compiled code, then check App Store and Play Store listings and local-language searches. If all fail, ask the user for key facts rather than concluding no competitor exists.

What positioning frameworks does this competitive analysis use?▼

It uses April Dunford's positioning method, Wardley Mapping, feature comparison matrices, and Kano analysis. It explicitly skips textbook frameworks like Porter's Five Forces and PESTLE unless specifically requested.

Can I get the competitive analysis as a PDF report or slide deck?▼

Yes, you choose the format before the deliverable is built. Options are a slide deck or a written report generated as a jsPDF document with a matching React web preview, including feature matrices, positioning maps, and cited sources.

What are the limitations of automated competitor research tools?▼

G2 and Capterra skew toward mid-market SaaS, SimilarWeb is unreliable under 50k monthly visits, and enterprise pricing is rarely public. Regional markets in Latin America, SEA, and MENA have minimal coverage, requiring local-language and app store searches.
