In-depth Analysis
Guides you to compare competitors across key factors, helping you identify their strengths, weaknesses, and market positioning.
Actionable Strategy
The ultimate goal is not just data, but a plan. The app helps you connect your findings to clear, strategic recommendations.

Clarity & Focus
The step-by-step approach forces you to think through each building block of your business, eliminating ambiguity and helping you focus on what truly matters.
Turns Data into Insight
The guided framework helps you see the bigger picture, connecting dots you might have missed and revealing hidden patterns, threats, and opportunities.
Fosters Collaboration
Keep your team on the same page. The app serves as a single source of truth, allowing for seamless collaboration and shared understanding across departments.
Simplifies Reporting
Forget spending hours building presentations from scratch. The app helps you generate a cohesive, professional report that clearly communicates your findings.
From Real World to Actionable Report
The app is designed to be the central hub for your competitive intelligence, but the data collection happens in the real world. Think of it as a digital workbook that structures the findings from your research and collaboration.
Where Does the Information Come From?
A truly effective analysis is not found in a single place; it is gathered from diverse sources. We expect you to be a detective, combining public information with key insights from people. Here are the most common places to look:
Publicly Available Information
Review competitor websites, social media channels, press releases, and job postings. The latter often reveals new product initiatives or areas of focus.
Customer Interviews
This is where you get the most valuable, first-hand insights. Ask customers what alternatives they considered and why they chose you over a competitor.
Industry and Analyst Reports
Look to research firms like Gartner or Forrester for high-level market trends and competitor profiles. These reports can help you benchmark your findings.
Internal Teams
Your sales and support teams are on the front lines and have a wealth of knowledge. Schedule meetings to discuss common competitor mentions and customer pain points.
The tables within the app are where your analysis comes to life. They are a collaborative workspace where you can compare competitors, assess factors like pricing and product quality, and identify market opportunities and threats. This is not just about filling in data—it not about turning your raw findings into meaningful insights.
The Deliverable: Your Comprehensive Report
The final output is a dynamic, comprehensive report ready to be shared with your team or stakeholders. It is a strategic document that includes:
A clear introduction and conclusion.
The key findings from your analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the tables help me structure my analysis?
The tables are the core of your analysis. They are designed to help you organize the information you have gathered and make direct comparisons. Each table corresponds to a specific part of your analysis, guiding you to systematically evaluate competitors, identify gaps, and articulate your findings.
How does the app generate the final report?
The final report is automatically generated based on the data you enter into the tables. The app synthesizes your inputs and formats them into a professional, comprehensive document. It pulls in your objectives, your competitive comparisons, and your strategic recommendations to create a cohesive narrative you can share with stakeholders.
Is this app a collaborative tool for my team?
Yes, the app is built for collaboration through its import and export functionality. You can save your project as a file and share it with your team, allowing them to open it, make edits, and contribute their own insights. This ensures a more comprehensive and robust analysis by leveraging the collective knowledge of your team.
What if I cannot fill in all the data?
That is perfectly normal! Competitive intelligence is an ongoing process. You can fill in the information you have and come back later to update your analysis. The app is flexible and does not require all fields to be complete to generate a useful report.
