What problem does it solve?
Product managers often know a competitive or market question needs research but not which intelligence channel to run, leading to either coverage theater (running everything) or blind spots. This Skill triages the decision on your desk into the two or three collection disciplines that actually matter, on a cadence you can sustain.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Adaptive triage interview: Asks three adaptive questions about your situation, the signal you have seen, and your constraints, then issues numbered recommendations naming discipline mix, cadence, executing skill, and artifact fed.
- Decision-to-discipline routing: Maps situations like suspected competitor moves, battle cards, TAM/SAM/SOM, pricing questions, and standing watches to OSINT, SIGINT, HUMINT, TECHINT, FININT, and other collection disciplines using a routing quick-reference table.
- Honest off-ramp and handoff artifact: Redirects questions better answered by win/loss interviews or discovery, and closes by filling a one-page triage card template with the route, its rationale, and a review date.
- Use Case: You notice a competitor's careers page doubled with data engineering roles. The advisor credits that HUMINT signal, then recommends a TECHINT patent sweep and a SIGINT subdomain check as independent corroboration, scaled to your two free hours.
Quick Start
Ask the intel discipline advisor which intelligence disciplines to run for a suspected competitor move given the signal you noticed and your time budget.
