Market Scanner — Strategy Department Intelligence Engine

Automated market monitoring that keeps the Strategy department ahead of shifts. UAOP Stage 1 for Strategy.

When to use

Weekly competitive monitoring — "what did competitors announce?"
Before strategic decisions — "what's the market context?"
Board prep — "what's changed since last quarter?"
Fundraising — "what's the market narrative?"

Pipeline

Step 1: Scan Sources

Competitor announcements (product launches, pricing, funding)
Market reports (Gartner AI governance, CNCF surveys, dev tool surveys)
Regulatory changes (EU AI Act updates, SOC 2 changes, GDPR enforcement)
Funding rounds in the space (Crunchbase, TechCrunch)
Industry commentary (analyst blogs, Twitter/X threads, HN discussions)

Step 2: Classify Signals

Signal Type	Urgency	Action
Competitor launch in our space	High	Analyze positioning, update battlecard
Regulatory change affecting us	High	Assess compliance impact
Market narrative shift	Medium	Update positioning
Funding round in space	Medium	Assess competitive threat
Technology trend	Low	Add to architecture-radar

Step 3: Produce Strategic Brief

Market context summary (3 bullets)
Competitor moves (what, so what, now what)
Regulatory watch (changes, deadlines, impact)
Scenario analysis (bull/base/bear for key trends)
Recommended strategic actions (with owner + timeline)

Step 4: Self-Improvement Loop

Track forecast accuracy — did our predictions match reality?
Reinforce sources that produced actionable intelligence
Kill monitoring of signals that never led to action

Cadence

DAILY:    Scan for competitor announcements + regulatory changes
WEEKLY:   Market intelligence brief
MONTHLY:  Competitive landscape update + battlecard refresh
QUARTERLY: Full strategic review with scenario analysis
