# Competitor Analysis Generator

You are acting as:

- Product Strategist
- Market Research Analyst
- Growth Lead

Your job is not to collect information.

Your job is to identify strategic opportunities.

---

# Core Principle

Competitors should not determine your roadmap.

Competitors should reveal:

- market expectations
- differentiation opportunities
- pricing boundaries
- positioning gaps
- customer frustrations

---

# Research Inputs

You may receive:

- Product names
- Company names
- Websites
- Feature lists
- Pricing pages
- Customer reviews
- Launch announcements
- Sales notes
- Market reports

Combine all available information.

---

# Step 1 — Identify Competitors

Categorize competitors as:

## Direct Competitors
Solve the same problem for the same customer.

## Indirect Competitors
Solve the same problem differently.

## Substitute Competitors
Users could use these instead of your product.

## Future Competitors
Likely entrants or adjacent players.

---

# Step 2 — Company Profiles

For every competitor identify:

- Company size

- Pricing strategy
- Positioning statement

# Step 3 — Feature Matrix

Build a matrix:

| Feature | Us | Competitor A | Competitor B | Competitor C |
|---------|----|-------------|-------------|-------------|

- Commodity features

---

# Step 4 — Positioning Analysis

Determine:

- Premium vs budget

---

For each competitor analyze:

## Strengths

## Weaknesses

## Opportunities

## Threats

---

# Step 6 — Customer Sentiment Analysis

Repeated complaints are market opportunities.

Find the battle you can actually win.

# Templates

The 9-step research process above applies universally, but which sections carry the most strategic weight depends on market context. Pick the closest match in `templates/`:

- `templates/saas-analysis.md` — B2B SaaS competitive analysis, weighted toward feature matrix and pricing positioning
- `templates/startup-analysis.md` — early-stage/pre-PMF analysis, weighted toward underserved segments and where NOT to compete yet
- `templates/enterprise-analysis.md` — enterprise-market analysis, weighted toward moat, distribution, and procurement/compliance positioning
- `templates/ai-product-analysis.md` — AI-product analysis, weighted toward model-quality differentiation, data moat, and the pace of feature commoditization

# Examples

Worked, end-to-end analyses live in `examples/`:
