Competitor Analysis

Build a competitor comparison matrix that separates verified facts from inference: the highest-hallucination-risk task done safely.

Analyze my competitors and build a comparison.

My company/product: [WHAT WE DO + OUR CURRENT POSITIONING]
Competitors: [NAME 2-5]
Dimensions I care about: [e.g. "pricing, target segment, key features, positioning, weaknesses", or "you pick the 6 most decision-relevant"]
What I already know (paste anything: their pricing pages, reviews, notes):
"""
[PASTE MATERIAL, or "nothing: use what you know"]
"""

Output:
1. **Comparison matrix**: competitors as columns, dimensions as rows. Every cell tagged: [PROVIDED] (from my material), [KNOWN] (you're confident from training, state as of when), or [VERIFY] (your best inference; plausible but check it). Never present a [VERIFY] cell as fact.
2. **Positioning read**: for each competitor, one paragraph: who they're really for, what they'd say their advantage is, and where customers complain (only from provided material or clearly flagged inference).
3. **The gap**: 2-3 positions in this market that are underserved based on the matrix, and which one fits my current positioning best.
4. **Verification list**: the 5 highest-stakes [VERIFY] cells I should confirm first, each with where to check (their pricing page, G2 reviews, a specific search).

Rules: competitor data changes fast, date-stamp anything from your training knowledge ("as of [date], their starter plan was…"). If you don't know a competitor at all, say so; do not construct a plausible-sounding profile. An empty cell marked "unknown" is more valuable than a confident guess.

How to use

Competitor analysis is where language models hallucinate most confidently: pricing and features drift monthly. The cell-tagging system contains that risk. If your AI tool has web search, tell it to verify the [VERIFY] cells live; if not, work the verification list yourself before acting on the matrix.
