SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It turns scattered competitor research into a structured analysis with positioning, feature comparisons, and actionable recommendations, including hard-to-research competitors like JS-rendered SPA sites and regional apps invisible to standard tools. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Competitor Dossiers: Build per-competitor profiles covering positioning, pricing, strengths, weaknesses, funding, and recent launches using G2 reviews, BuiltWith, Crunchbase, and Wayback Machine. - SPA and Zero-Result Research: Extract pricing and feature data from JavaScript bundles via curl when webFetch and webSearch return nothing, plus App Store and local-language search for regional markets. - Deliverables and Monitoring: Produce a slide deck or jsPDF-based PDF report with feature matrices and 2x2 positioning maps, then set up ongoing monitoring via Slack, Teams, or Google Alerts with a monthly ritual checklist. - Use Case: A founder asks "Who are my competitors and how do we compare?" and receives a sourced report with a feature matrix, white-space analysis, and three specific actions. ## Quick Start Run a competitive analysis of my product against these competitors and deliver it as a written report with a feature matrix and positioning map.

Frequently Asked Questions about competitive-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I do a competitive analysis for my product?

Provide your product, target customer, and known competitors. The analysis expands the competitor set via G2 alternatives searches, builds per-competitor dossiers with pricing and review-based strengths and weaknesses, then synthesizes a feature matrix, positioning map, and specific recommendations.

How to research a competitor when web search returns no results?

Use curl on the competitor homepage and JS bundle to extract pricing, features, and copy from compiled code, then check App Store and Play Store listings and local-language searches. If all fail, ask the user for key facts rather than concluding no competitor exists.

What positioning frameworks does this competitive analysis use?

It uses April Dunford's positioning method, Wardley Mapping, feature comparison matrices, and Kano analysis. It explicitly skips textbook frameworks like Porter's Five Forces and PESTLE unless specifically requested.

Can I get the competitive analysis as a PDF report or slide deck?

Yes, you choose the format before the deliverable is built. Options are a slide deck or a written report generated as a jsPDF document with a matching React web preview, including feature matrices, positioning maps, and cited sources.

What are the limitations of automated competitor research tools?

G2 and Capterra skew toward mid-market SaaS, SimilarWeb is unreliable under 50k monthly visits, and enterprise pricing is rarely public. Regional markets in Latin America, SEA, and MENA have minimal coverage, requiring local-language and app store searches.
