Google: "[your category] software/tool/service" — note top 10 organic + ads
G2/Capterra/TrustRadius: Your category page — note top 10 by reviews
Product Hunt: Search your keywords — sort by votes
Crunchbase: Search your category — filter funded companies
LinkedIn: "[competitor name]" company pages — note employee count trends
Reddit/HN: "alternative to [leader]" or "[category] recommendations"
Customer interviews: "Who else did you evaluate?"
Lost deal notes: Who did you lose to and why?

### Market Map YAML

market_map:
  category: "[Your Category]"
  date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
  total_addressable_market: "$XB"
  
  competitors:
    - name: "Competitor A"
      tier: "direct"
      website: "https://..."
      founded: 2019
      funding: "$50M Series B"
      estimated_revenue: "$10-20M ARR"
      employee_count: 150
      employee_trend: "growing"  # growing | stable | shrinking

      weaknesses: ["Expensive", "Slow support"]
      threat_level: "high"  # low | medium | high | critical
      notes: ""

### 2.1 Feature Matrix

For each direct competitor, build a feature comparison:

feature_matrix:
  last_updated: "YYYY-MM-DD"
  
  categories:
    - name: "Core Features"
      features:
        - name: "Feature X"
          us: "full"       # none | partial | full | superior
          competitor_a: "full"
          competitor_b: "partial"
          weight: 5        # 1-5 importance to buyer
          notes: "We have deeper customization"
          
        - name: "Feature Y"
          us: "none"
          competitor_a: "full"
          competitor_b: "full"
          weight: 3
          notes: "On our roadmap for Q3"
    
    - name: "Integrations"
      features:
        - name: "Salesforce"
          us: "full"
          competitor_a: "partial"
          weight: 4

### 2.2 Product Teardown Template

For each major competitor, conduct a structured teardown:

## [Competitor Name] Product Teardown
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Analyst:** [name]

### First Impressions (0-5 min)
- Homepage messaging: What problem do they lead with?
- Sign-up friction: How many steps? What info required?
- Time to value: How fast can you DO something?
- Design quality: Modern, dated, cluttered, clean?

### Onboarding (5-30 min)
- Guided tour? Checklist? Video? Nothing?
- Sample data provided? Sandbox mode?
- How quickly did you feel competent?
- What confused you?

### Core Workflow
- Complete their primary use case end-to-end
- Note: steps required, clicks per task, speed, error handling
- Screenshot key screens

### Differentiators
- What can they do that we can't? (be honest)
- What's their "magic moment"?
- What do their happiest customers praise? (check G2 reviews)

### Weaknesses
- Where did you get stuck?
- What felt missing or half-baked?
- What do their angriest customers complain about? (check G2 1-2 star reviews)

### Pricing vs Value
- What plan would a typical customer need?
- Price per user/month at that tier?
- Any hidden costs (implementation, support, integrations)?
- Free trial? Freemium? Money-back guarantee?

### Technical Assessment
- Stack: (check Wappalyzer, BuiltWith, job postings)
- API: Public? REST/GraphQL? Rate limits? Docs quality?
- Mobile: Native app? Responsive web? PWA?
- Performance: Page load speed, UI responsiveness
- Uptime: Status page? Historical incidents?

### 2.3 UX Scoring Rubric

Score each competitor's product (0-10 per dimension):

DimensionWhat to EvaluateWeightEase of SetupTime to first value, onboarding friction15%Core UXPrimary workflow efficiency, intuitiveness25%Feature DepthCovers edge cases, power user needs20%ReliabilityUptime, bugs encountered, error handling15%IntegrationsEcosystem breadth, API quality10%SupportResponse time, quality, self-serve resources10%MobileNative quality, feature parity5%

Total = weighted sum. Compare across competitors.

### 3.1 Pricing Comparison Table

pricing_intel:
  date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
  
  competitors:
    - name: "Us"
      model: "per-seat"  # per-seat | usage | flat | hybrid | freemium
      entry_price: "$29/user/mo"
      mid_price: "$79/user/mo"
      enterprise_price: "Custom"
      free_tier: true
      free_limits: "5 users, 1000 records"
      annual_discount: "20%"
      contract_required: false
      implementation_fee: "$0"
      hidden_costs: []
      
    - name: "Competitor A"
      model: "per-seat"
      entry_price: "$49/user/mo"
      mid_price: "$99/user/mo"
      enterprise_price: "Custom ($150+/user)"
      free_tier: false
      annual_discount: "15%"
      contract_required: true  # annual minimum
      implementation_fee: "$5,000"
      hidden_costs: ["API access on enterprise only", "SSO $50/user extra"]

### 3.2 Price Positioning Analysis

Answer these questions:

Where do we sit? Map all competitors on a 2x2: Price (low→high) vs Feature depth (basic→advanced)
Who's cheapest? At 10 users? 50 users? 200 users? (pricing often crosses over at scale)
Total Cost of Ownership: Include implementation, training, migration, hidden fees
Value ratio: Features-per-dollar compared to each competitor
Pricing trend: Are competitors raising prices? (check Wayback Machine on /pricing)
Discount behavior: Do they discount aggressively in deals? (ask sales team, check G2 reviews mentioning price)

### 3.3 Pricing Strategy Recommendations

Based on analysis, recommend one of:

StrategyWhen to UseRiskPremiumClearly superior product + brandLosing price-sensitive dealsParitySimilar product, compete on other axesRace to bottomPenetrationNew entrant, need market share fastPerception of low qualityValueBetter product at lower priceMargin pressure if costs riseNicheSpecialized for segment competitors ignoreSmall TAM

### 4.1 Battlecard Template

Create one per direct competitor:

# 🏆 Battlecard: Us vs [Competitor]
**Last Updated:** YYYY-MM-DD | **Confidence:** High/Medium/Low

## Quick Stats
| Metric | Us | Them |
|--------|-----|------|
| Founded | | |
| Funding | | |
| Est. Revenue | | |
| Employees | | |
| G2 Rating | | |
| Gartner Position | | |

## Their Pitch (in their words)
"[Their homepage headline or elevator pitch]"

## Why Customers Choose Us Over Them
1. **[Reason 1]**: [Specific proof point — customer quote, metric, demo moment]
2. **[Reason 2]**: [Specific proof point]
3. **[Reason 3]**: [Specific proof point]

## Why Customers Choose Them Over Us (be honest)
1. **[Reason 1]**: [And how to counter it]
2. **[Reason 2]**: [And how to counter it]

## Landmines to Plant 🧨
Questions to ask the prospect that expose competitor weaknesses:
1. "Ask them how they handle [weakness area] — you'll find it requires [workaround]"
2. "Request a demo of [specific feature] — it's not as deep as it looks"
3. "Ask about [hidden cost] — it's not on the pricing page"

## Objection Handling

**"[Competitor] is cheaper"**
> Response: "At first glance, yes. But when you factor in [hidden cost 1], [hidden cost 2], and [limitation requiring workaround], the total cost is actually [higher/comparable]. Plus, [our unique value] saves you [X hours/dollars] per [period]."

**"[Competitor] has [feature we lack]"**
> Response: "[Acknowledge honestly]. Here's why our customers find that [our approach] actually works better for [their use case]: [specific reasoning]. [Customer name] evaluated both and chose us specifically because [reason]."

**"We're already using [Competitor]"**
> Response: "That makes sense — they're solid at [genuine strength]. The customers who switch to us typically hit a wall with [specific limitation]. Are you experiencing [common pain point with that competitor]?"

## Trap Plays (When to Walk Away)
- If prospect needs [specific capability we truly lack], acknowledge it honestly
- If they're deeply embedded in [competitor ecosystem], switching cost may be too high
- If deal size is below $[X], cost of competing isn't worth it

## Win Stories
- **[Customer A]**: Switched from [Competitor] because [reason]. Result: [metric improvement]
- **[Customer B]**: Evaluated both, chose us because [reason]. Quote: "[testimonial]"

## Recent Intel
- [Date]: [Competitor] announced [product change/funding/hire]
- [Date]: [Customer feedback about competitor]

### 4.2 Quick Objection Matrix

For the sales team's daily use:

ObjectionShort ResponseProof Point"Too expensive"[Value reframe][ROI stat or customer quote]"Never heard of you"[Social proof][Customer logos, G2 rank]"Missing [feature]"[Alternative or roadmap][Workaround or timeline]"Happy with current tool"[Trigger question][Common pain with incumbent]"Need enterprise features"[What we have][Enterprise customer reference]

### 5.1 Win/Loss Interview Framework

### 6.3 Quarterly Competitive Review Agenda

Market map update (15 min): Any new entrants? Any exits? Tier changes?
Feature gap review (20 min): What did competitors ship? What should we respond to?
Win/loss trends (15 min): Are we gaining or losing ground? Against whom?
Pricing check (10 min): Any pricing changes? Is our positioning still right?
Battlecard refresh (15 min): Update all active battlecards
Strategic decisions (15 min): Based on all intel, what should we invest in / deprioritize?

### 7.1 Competitive Moat Assessment

Rate your moat and each competitor's (1-5):

Moat TypeDescriptionUsComp AComp BNetwork EffectsProduct gets better with more usersSwitching CostsPain of leaving increases over timeData AdvantageProprietary data that improves productBrandTrust, recognition, preferenceScale EconomiesCost advantages from sizeRegulatoryLicenses, certifications, complianceTechnologyPatents, proprietary tech, speedEcosystemIntegrations, partnerships, marketplace

Total moat score = sum. Higher = harder to displace.

### 7.2 Competitor Response Prediction

For each major competitor move, predict their likely response to YOUR moves:

**If we [action]...**
- Competitor A will likely: [response] because [reasoning]
- Competitor B will likely: [response] because [reasoning]
- Timeline: [how fast they'll respond]
- Our counter-move: [what we do next]

### 7.3 Blue Ocean Opportunities

After mapping all competitors, look for:

Underserved segments: Customer types everyone ignores (too small? too niche? too complex?)
Unmet needs: Features/capabilities no one offers that customers actually want
Experience gaps: The workflow everyone does poorly
Business model innovation: Could you win by charging differently? (usage vs seat vs outcome-based)
Channel gaps: Where are customers NOT being reached? (vertical communities, specific geographies, languages)

### Stealth Competitors

Monitor patent filings in your space (Google Patents)
Watch YC/Techstars demo days for category entrants
Track job postings at big tech for [your category] keywords — could signal internal build

### International Competitors

Search in target language for your category
Check local review sites (Capterra has country-specific)
Different markets have different leaders — map per region

### Platform Risk

If you build on a platform (Salesforce, Shopify, etc.), monitor the platform itself
Platforms often build features that commoditize plugins
Track platform's acquisition history in your space

### Competitor Intelligence Ethics

✅ Public information (websites, press, job postings, reviews, patents)
✅ Customer feedback about competitors (win/loss interviews)
✅ Product trials and demos (sign up normally)
❌ Fake identities to access gated content
❌ Poaching employees for intel
❌ Accessing confidential documents
❌ Reverse engineering protected code
