  • Produce per-competitor dossiers with positioning (homepage messaging), pricing model (tiers if available), top strengths, top weaknesses, funding/headcount, and recent product launches.
  • Synthesize feature matrices and visual maps (2×2 positioning maps, Kano-style delighters vs. basics) to reveal white space and strategic opportunities.
  • Create output-ready deliverables (slide deck or written report) with sources and concrete recommendations.

Quick Start
