SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Marketing teams often produce competitive comparisons that are biased, unsourced, or outdated, leading to untrustworthy battlecards and weak positioning. This Skill enforces a disciplined, source-grounded workflow that separates internal signals, public facts, inferences, and unknowns before drawing any competitive conclusion. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-symmetric comparison: Builds independent dossiers for your brand and each competitor before generating a comparison matrix, preventing cherry-picked wins. - Positioning and messaging whitespace analysis: Identifies audience needs backed by proof where competitors have verifiable gaps. - Marketing battlecard generation: Produces decision criteria, objection responses, message pillars, and "what not to claim" guidance with dated sources. - Use Case: Preparing a product launch against a named competitor—align audience, region, and product tier, verify current public pricing and claims, then deliver positioning implications and validation questions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to compare your product against a named competitor for a specific audience and launch decision, and request a sourced competitive positioning brief with a battlecard.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a competitive positioning brief for a product launch?▼

Define your brand, the named competitor, target audience, region, and decision purpose first. The Skill builds separate evidence dossiers for each side, runs an evidence symmetry check, then produces a comparison matrix, whitespace analysis, and response guidance with dated sources.

What should a marketing battlecard include?▼

A battlecard should include audience decision criteria, competitor position and proof, your evidence-backed differentiation, message pillars, objection-response pairs, content opportunities, what not to claim, and direct sources with dates.

Can I compare competitor pricing across different regions or tiers?▼

Only when currency, billing term, region, tier, minimums, and observation date are aligned. If these conditions cannot be matched, the comparison is marked as not directly comparable rather than forcing a misleading conclusion.

When should I not use a competitive positioning brief?▼

Do not use it for single-account deal strategy or sales outreach, obtaining non-public information, bypassing paywalls, or contacting competitor employees. It also excludes pure SEO technical audits and unsourced attacks on competitors.

Why does my comparison matrix show my side winning every row?▼

That pattern indicates conclusions were chosen before evidence was gathered. Rebuild independent dossiers for each organization and apply the evidence symmetry check so only dimensions with comparable data are evaluated.
