SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Competitive analysis is often fragmented, noisy, and MBA-flavored rather than operator-ready; this Skill turns scattered signals into a concise, actionable competitor dossier, feature matrix, positioning statement, and specific tactical recommendations for product and go-to-market teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Practical positioning: Uses April Dunford's five-input method to produce buyer-centered positioning statements that start from alternatives, not features.
  • Tactical research playbook: SPA curl techniques, review mining (G2/Capterra/Play Store/App Store), tech-stack checks (BuiltWith/Wappalyzer), pricing reconstruction, hiring signals, and Wayback for historical messaging.
  • Deliverables & monitoring: Produces per-competitor dossiers, a weighted feature comparison matrix, Kano/positioning maps, slide deck or PDF report, and an optional ongoing monitoring package with alert links and a monthly ritual checklist.
  • Use cases: Preparing fundraising competition slides, building sales battlecards, finding white-space opportunities, and setting up competitor monitoring workflows.

Quick Start

Analyze my product against up to 5 competitors (list their names or URLs), produce a one-paragraph positioning statement, a 10-row feature comparison matrix, and three prioritized recommendations.

How do I build a competitor feature matrix for B2B SaaS products?▼

Build a competitor feature matrix by analyzing 5-7 rivals and synthesizing their public review sites, pricing, and tech-stack signals into a weighted 10-row feature comparison grid. This reveals white-space opportunities and targeted tactical product recommendations.

Write a positioning statement using April Dunford's five-input method to frame your product against market alternatives rather than features. This approach creates buyer-centered messaging that clarifies your unique value for investor competition slides.

How do I monitor competitor hiring signals and pricing changes over time?▼

Monitor competitor hiring signals and pricing changes by setting up an ongoing tracking package with alert links and a monthly ritual checklist. This synthesizes SPA curl techniques, BuiltWith checks, and Wayback machine data into actionable dossiers.

Can I use curl to inspect SPA content and reconstruct competitor pricing pages?▼

Use curl to fetch SPA content and inspect bundles to reconstruct competitor pricing pages. Combine this with review mining on platforms like G2 or Capterra to produce comprehensive competitor dossiers and strategic market analysis.

Does competitive analysis work for building sales battlecards and identifying market gaps?▼

Competitive analysis works for building sales battlecards and identifying market gaps by turning scattered signals into actionable dossiers and Kano positioning maps. It applies to B2B SaaS teams needing operator-ready tactical research rather than MBA-flavored reports.
