Competitor Research Brief
Structure competitor evidence into positioning patterns, gaps, risks, and a decision-ready comparison brief.
Result
Prioritized, structured, and ready to use.
Who this workflow is for
Founders, product marketers and strategists comparing competitors for a specific decision.
Inputs you need
Your offer, dated competitor evidence, source URLs or notes and the decision the research must support.
Step-by-step process
- Define the decision before collecting more evidence.
- Separate vendor claims, observed product behavior and third-party evidence.
- Compare positioning patterns, gaps and risks using the same criteria.
- Write conclusions with sources, confidence and unresolved questions.
Result
A decision-ready comparison brief with evidence, gaps, risks and next research questions.
Example
Instead of a generic feature table, a buyer-positioning decision compares who each competitor targets, what proof they show and which audience need remains underserved.
