Competitive Brief
Compare alternatives against a real buyer or product decision, not a generic feature grid.
- Define audience, decision, category, alternatives, evaluation criteria, and time horizon.
- Research current primary sources first: product docs, pricing, release notes, public statements, and directly observable product behavior.
- Separate verified facts, customer claims, analyst inference, and unknowns.
- Compare positioning, target user, workflow fit, differentiation, constraints, pricing assumptions, and switching costs.
- End with implications, counter-positioning, and questions to validate—not a claim that one product is universally best.
Do not scrape gated data, reproduce competitor marketing as fact, or use stale price/features without a dated source.
