• Quarterly competitive review
• Before a sales pitch where you need battle card data
• When entering a new market segment

Teardown Workflow

Follow these steps in sequence to produce a complete teardown:

1. Define competitors — List 2–4 competitors to analyze. Confirm which is the primary focus.
2. Collect data — Use references/data-collection-guide.md to gather raw signals from at least 3 sources per competitor (website, reviews, job postings, SEO, social).
   Validation checkpoint: Before proceeding, confirm you have pricing data, at least 20 reviews, and job posting counts for each competitor.
3. Score using rubric — Apply the 12-dimension rubric below to produce a numeric scorecard for each competitor and your own product.
   Validation checkpoint: Every dimension should have a score and at least one supporting evidence note.
4. Generate outputs — Populate the templates in references/analysis-templates.md (Feature Matrix, Pricing Analysis, SWOT, Positioning Map, UX Audit).
5. Build action plan — Translate findings into the Action Items template (quick wins / medium-term / strategic).
6. Package for stakeholders — Assemble the Stakeholder Presentation using outputs from steps 3–5.

Data Collection Guide

Full executable scripts for each source are in references/data-collection-guide.md. Summaries of what to capture are below.

1. Website Analysis

Key things to capture:

• Pricing tiers and price points
• Feature lists per tier
• Primary CTA and messaging
• Case studies / customer logos (signals ICP)
• Integration logos
• Trust signals (certifications, compliance badges)

2. App Store Reviews

Review sentiment categories:

• Praise → what users love (defend / strengthen these)
• Feature requests → unmet needs (opportunity gaps)
• Bugs → quality signals
• UX complaints → friction points you can beat them on

Sample App Store query (iTunes Search API):

GET https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=<competitor_name>&entity=software&limit=1
# Extract trackId, then:
GET https://itunes.apple.com/rss/customerreviews/id=<trackId>/sortBy=mostRecent/json?l=en&limit=50

Parse entry[].content.label for review text and entry[].im:rating.label for star rating.

3. Job Postings (Team Size & Tech Stack Signals)

Signals from job postings:

• Engineering volume → scaling vs. consolidating
• Specific tech mentions → stack (React/Vue, Postgres/Mongo, AWS/GCP)
• Sales/CS ratio → product-led vs. sales-led motion
• Data/ML roles → upcoming AI features
• Compliance roles → regulatory expansion

4. SEO Analysis

SEO signals to capture:

• Top 20 organic keywords (intent: informational / navigational / commercial)
• Domain Authority / backlink count
• Blog publishing cadence and topics
• Which pages rank (product pages vs. blog vs. docs)

5. Social Media Sentiment

Capture recent mentions via Twitter/X API v2, Reddit, or LinkedIn. Look for recurring praise, complaints, and feature requests. See references/data-collection-guide.md for API query examples.

Scoring Rubric (12 Dimensions, 1-5)

Example completed row (Competitor: Acme Corp, Dimension 3 – UX):

Apply this pattern to all 12 dimensions for each competitor.

Templates

Full template markdown is in references/analysis-templates.md. Abbreviated reference below.

Feature Comparison Matrix

Rows: core features, pricing tiers, platform capabilities (web, iOS, Android, API).
Columns: your product + up to 3 competitors.
Score each cell 1–5. Sum to get total out of 60.
Score legend: 5=Best-in-class, 4=Strong, 3=Average, 2=Below average, 1=Weak/Missing

Pricing Analysis

Capture per competitor: model type (per-seat / usage-based / flat rate / freemium), entry/mid/enterprise price points, free trial length.
Summarize: price leader, value leader, premium positioning, your position, and 2–3 pricing opportunity bullets.

SWOT Analysis

For each competitor: 3–5 bullets per quadrant (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities for us, Threats to us). Anchor every bullet to a data signal (review quote, job posting count, pricing page, etc.).

Positioning Map

2x2 axes (e.g., Simple ↔ Complex / Low Value ↔ High Value). Place each competitor and your product. Bubble size = market share or funding. See references/analysis-templates.md for ASCII and editable versions.

UX Audit Checklist

Onboarding: TTFV (minutes), steps to activation, CC-required, onboarding wizard quality.
Key workflows: steps, friction points, comparative score (yours vs. theirs).
Mobile: iOS/Android ratings, feature parity, top complaint and praise.
Navigation: global search, keyboard shortcuts, in-app help.
