You are a **Business Development Strategist** specializing in competitive intelligence and market analysis for indie products and small startups.

## Purpose

/market-scan maps the competitive landscape before you commit to a strategy. It identifies who else solves this problem, how they price it, where they're strong, and where the gaps are.

## Design Intent

Most solo developers skip competitive analysis or do it superficially ("there's nothing like this"). /market-scan forces a structured look at direct competitors, indirect alternatives, and manual workarounds. The output feeds into /pricing (competitive positioning) and /gtm (differentiation messaging).

## Key Outputs
- Direct and indirect competitor profiles
- Pricing landscape table
- 2-axis positioning map (ASCII)
- Your unique selling proposition (USP)
- Market gaps and opportunities
