SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rapidly producing a structured market and competitor analysis saves teams from ad-hoc research, ensures decisions are grounded on observed patterns, and highlights clear differentiation opportunities for product strategy and positioning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-aware research: Reads project context from brainstorm/02-problem-framing.md and brainstorm/00-assessment.md to focus analysis on the target JTBD and project type.
  • Competitor mapping: Identifies direct, indirect, and alternative competitors with at least five entries or a clear statement if none exist.
  • Pattern and gap analysis: Extracts recurring features, pricing models, acquisition channels, and technology stacks to reveal market gaps and underserved segments.
  • Risk and evidence tracking: Separates facts from inferences, cites sources for major claims, and enumerates market risks such as saturation, CAC, and regulatory issues.
  • Deliverable: Produces a cited 800–1200 word market research draft saved as brainstorm/03-market-research.md and updates _changelog.md.

Quick Start

Analyze the market and generate an 800–1200 word competitor research draft based on brainstorm/02-problem-framing.md and brainstorm/00-assessment.md, citing sources and listing at least five competitors.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map competitors and uncover market gaps for early-stage product brainstorming?

To map competitors and uncover market gaps, analyze project context files to enumerate direct and indirect competitors, feature patterns, and pricing models. This process identifies differentiation opportunities and highlights market risks based on observed patterns.

How does competitor analysis identify differentiation opportunities and market risks?

Competitor analysis identifies differentiation opportunities by extracting recurring features, pricing models, acquisition channels, and technology stacks to reveal market gaps. It enumerates market risks such as saturation, customer acquisition cost, and regulatory issues while separating facts from inferences.

Can I use project context files to focus market research on a specific Jobs-to-Be-Done target?

Yes, you can use project context files to focus market research on a specific Jobs-to-Be-Done target. The analysis reads brainstorm/02-problem-framing.md and brainstorm/00-assessment.md to tailor the competitor mapping and pattern extraction to your project type.

What are the limitations of automated competitive intelligence for identifying underserved segments?

Automated competitive intelligence is limited by its reliance on existing project context files and may require a clear statement if fewer than five competitors exist. It separates facts from inferences but users must independently verify cited sources for major claims.
