What problem does it solve? When stakeholders ask how a product stacks up against named rivals, ad-hoc research produces shallow feature lists or unverified marketing claims. This Skill structures competitor research into a disciplined workflow that separates confirmed facts from inference and ties findings to a concrete decision. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Competitor Classification: Distinguishes direct competitors, indirect competitors, substitutes, and plausible entrants with explicit inclusion criteria. - Evidence-Backed Benchmarking: Compares pricing, packaging, capabilities, distribution, and retention signals using only public sources like documentation, filings, reviews, and job postings. - Strategic Threat Ranking: Ranks threats and opportunities by impact, likelihood, confidence, and time horizon, with monitoring signals and cadence. - Use Case: A product manager preparing a pricing review asks for an analysis of three named rivals and receives a report with an executive conclusion, benchmark table, positioning analysis, and a monitoring plan with cited sources. ## Quick Start Analyze our top three competitors in the project management software space and produce a competitive intelligence report covering pricing, positioning, and strategic threats.
