SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Developing positioning for an offering often stalls at a blank page: teams struggle to map what competitors already claim and to find unclaimed ground their product can credibly own. This Skill structures that first pass so positioning work starts from evidence rather than adjectives. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Competitive Landscape Mapping: Profiles the top five competitors or incumbents with their positioning angle, target, differentiators, and the gaps they leave open. - Positioning Brainstorm: Produces five differentiated positioning ideas for a chosen segment, each leaning on capabilities competitors downplay. - Structured Output per Idea: Delivers a one-sentence positioning statement, rationale, supporting messages, and the specific advantage or proof behind each claim. - Use Case: A founder preparing to launch a new service asks for positioning ideas against established players, and receives five candidate statements with the reasoning and evidence needed to test them with customers. ## Quick Start Generate positioning ideas for my offering, analysing the top five competitors and proposing five differentiated positioning statements with rationale and supporting messages.

FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm positioning ideas for a new product?▼

Start by mapping the top five competitors with their positioning angle, target, and gaps they leave open. Then generate five differentiated ideas, each with a one-sentence positioning statement, rationale, supporting messages, and the capability that earns the claim.

What should a positioning statement include?▼

A positioning statement is one sentence, for example "The only [category] designed for [segment] who need to [outcome]". It should be anchored on what the offering actually delivers against the criteria the segment selects on, not on adjectives.

How do I analyse competitor positioning before writing my own?▼

Profile each major competitor's positioning angle, target audience, emphasised differentiators, and the gaps they leave open. Those gaps define the unclaimed territory your own positioning ideas can credibly occupy.

When should I not rely on brainstormed positioning ideas?▼

Brainstormed positioning is a structured first pass, not a final decision. Validate candidates with real customer feedback and commercial confidentiality review before anything goes public, since claims must be backed by actual capabilities.

What skills pair with positioning work in a marketing workflow?▼

Positioning ideas pair naturally with value proposition development, value proposition statements, and competitor analysis. Together they move from landscape research through positioning to the messaging used in market-facing materials.
