## Description

Operator-first competitive analysis workflow for competitor profiling, pricing and packaging comparisons, positioning maps, SWOTs, and strategic recommendations. Use for prompts like "analyze our competitors", "benchmark our pricing", "map the market", "who are we up against", or "build a SWOT". Best when you have a company or product, ideal customer profile, and competitor set or permission to discover it. Optional Open Brain search and capture can pull prior notes and store the final brief.

# Competitive Analysis

## Problem

Teams often ask for competitive analysis when they really need a decision-ready view
of the market: who matters, how they position, where pricing diverges, what gaps are
open, and which moves are worth making now.

## Audience

- Primary: operators, founders, and product or GTM teams
- Secondary: investors using market context before memo writing

## When to Use

- Competitor profiling before a pricing, roadmap, or positioning decision
- Pricing and packaging comparisons across a known competitor set
- Strategic planning sessions that need a SWOT or positioning map
- Market scans where the user wants clear risks, opportunities, and recommended moves

## When Not to Use

- Full financial model critique or forecast stress testing: use `financial-model-review`
- Source-heavy synthesis across many research artifacts: use `research-synthesis`
- Final investment or partnership memo drafting: use `deal-memo-drafting`
- Meeting transcript cleanup, action extraction, or follow-up drafting: use `meeting-synthesis`

## Required Context

Gather or confirm:

- the company, product, or offer being analyzed
- the target decision this analysis should support
- the intended audience: operator, investor, partnership, board, or internal team
- the ideal customer profile or segment focus
- the competitor set, or permission to discover it
- pricing context if pricing is part of the request

Useful but optional:

- prior positioning notes, customer objections, or recent competitive findings from Open Brain
