What problem does it solve?

Competitive positioning isn't a slide deck—it's the honest answer to how hard it would be for customers to replace you. This diagnostic reveals your actual stand today against competitors, surfaces threats, and clarifies whether your moat is real, while guiding updates to your company-context.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnostic Mode (First Use), Review Mode, and Alert Triggers to structure the assessment workflow.
  • Maps four competition layers (direct, indirect, substitutes, and non-consumption) across segments, channels, geographies, and value-chain position to reveal where you actually compete.
  • Outputs a concise position statement and provides guidance to update the Competitive landscape in company-context.md and connect to Strategy Map and Playing to Win.

Quick Start

Run a Diagnostic to generate a draft position map and a defensibility assessment.
