What problem does it solve? Competitive analyses often end up as flat feature tables with invented competitor facts and no strategic conclusion. This Skill scopes the analysis to a real decision, grounds every claim in public evidence, applies the right framework, and ends with a clear positioning choice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Competitor Discovery and Tiering: Identifies direct, indirect, and potential competitors, then prioritizes them into primary, secondary, and tertiary tiers. - Framework Selection: Applies perceptual maps, feature matrices, SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, or TAM/SAM/SOM based on the research objective rather than running all of them. - Strategic Positioning: Separates table-stakes from differentiators and lands on one defensible stance (cheapest, highest-quality, or most-specialized). - Use Case: A product manager entering a crowded market asks for a landscape analysis; the Skill maps competitors on dimensions customers care about, mines review patterns for weaknesses, and recommends a focused niche position. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze the competitive landscape for your product and recommend a positioning strategy based on real public evidence.
