SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Competitive analysis often produces gut-feel rankings that cannot be defended to a client. This Skill turns a scoped, tiered competitor set into comparable, evidence-anchored scores so every number is backed by a source and means the same thing across all competitors. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Nine weighted scoring dimensions: Positioning, voice, visual craft, offer packaging, evidence, enterprise-readiness, thought leadership, pricing, and the client's strategic tension, each with explicit 1-5 rubrics. - Tension-plot analysis: Scores both poles of the client's strategic tension separately and plots competitors on a 2x2 to reveal who occupies the target white-space quadrant. - Bias controls and calibration: Rules against composite scores, asserted-vs-proven evidence downgrades, aesthetic affinity bias, and cross-set calibration before finalizing. - Use Case: After scoping eight competitor studios for a branding client, score each one, produce uniform profile cards with sourced justifications, and hand the cards plus the tension plot to the report-assembly step. ## Quick Start Use benchmark-methodology to score the tiered competitor set from competitive-platform-analysis and produce a profile card for each competitor.

FAQPage Schema
How do I score competitors in a competitive analysis?

Score each competitor on the same nine weighted dimensions using a 1-5 rubric anchored to observable evidence. Record a one-line justification and a source link for every score, then calibrate scores side-by-side across the full set before finalizing.

What dimensions should a competitor benchmark cover?

This methodology uses positioning clarity, brand voice, visual craft, offer packaging, evidence and credibility, enterprise-readiness, thought leadership, pricing transparency, and the client's strategic tension. Weights sum to 100 percent and guide synthesis emphasis rather than a blended score.

Should I average competitor scores into one composite number?

No. A weighted average hides the asymmetric strengths that matter for positioning. Report dimension scores individually and plot the two strategic tension poles separately, since the gap between poles is the key finding.

When should I run competitor benchmarking in a strategy project?

Run it after competitive-platform-analysis has produced a scoped, tiered competitor set and after the client's positioning brief defines the strategic tension. Scoring an unscoped list wastes effort on irrelevant competitors.

How do I avoid bias when scoring competitor websites?

Downgrade self-reported claims without corroboration, score craft and credibility independently to counter aesthetic affinity bias, and verify flashy showcase work against review directories and named clients before scoring credibility.
