SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Evaluating the competitive position of a PE target or portfolio company requires pulling competitor financials from multiple sources, scoring market structure, and synthesizing findings into evidence-backed analysis — a slow, inconsistent manual process. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Porter's 5 Forces Scoring: Scores rivalry, new entrants, substitutes, buyer power, and supplier power on a 1-5 scale with documented evidence and a composite intensity rating. - Financial Benchmarking: Builds a competitor comparison matrix (revenue, growth, margins, NRR) with percentile rankings, optionally pulling data via BigData.com MCP. - Feature Matrix & SWOT Synthesis: Scores capabilities as Leading/Parity/Lagging/Absent and produces a SWOT where every item cites a named competitor or quantified metric. - Use Case: Before an investment committee meeting, run the analysis on a SaaS acquisition target to produce a competitive intensity score, benchmark table, and SWOT that feeds directly into the deal memo. ## Quick Start Run a competitive analysis on AcmeTech against Robovate and Factori including Porter's 5 Forces scores, financial benchmarks, and a SWOT summary.

Frequently Asked Questions about competitive-analysis

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a Porter's 5 Forces analysis on an acquisition target?▼

Define the competitive universe, then score each of the five forces on a 1-5 scale with documented supporting evidence. The skill aggregates scores into a composite competitive intensity rating and includes a scoring guide from Very Favorable to Very Unfavorable.

How to benchmark a portfolio company against competitors?▼

Build a comparison matrix of revenue, growth, gross margin, EBITDA margin, headcount, and NRR for each competitor, then calculate percentile rankings for the target. Data can be pulled via BigData.com MCP tools or provided manually.

Does competitive analysis work without MCP data connections?▼

Yes, all steps work standalone with manual fallback. You provide competitor names, financials, and market data directly; the Nexus MCP and BigData.com MCP integrations are optional accelerators, not requirements.

What data sources does this competitive analysis skill use?▼

It optionally uses Nexus MCP tools (nexus_get_deal, nexus_search_market) for deal and market data, and BigData.com MCP tools (find_companies, bigdata_company_tearsheet) for competitor discovery and financial profiles.

What are the limitations of Porter's 5 Forces scoring?▼

Scores rely on judgment and available data, so the skill applies three-pass confidence calibration and flags gaps where competitor financials are estimated or unavailable. Private competitor data is often incomplete, which can affect benchmark accuracy.
