## Purpose Produce an elite-tier competitive and market analysis that scores every competitor against 7+ strategic frameworks, decomposes moats by type, identifies disruption vectors with evidence-graded confidence, and delivers board-ready artifacts a PM cannot produce unaided. The output is a Competitive War Map — not a feature comparison, but a structural assessment of who wins, why, and what to do about it. ## When to Use / When NOT to Use **Use this skill when:** - Entering a new market or evaluating a competitive response - Preparing a strategy review, board deck, or investment memo - A competitor makes a significant move and you need structural analysis (not reactive commentary) - Building a positioning strategy (feeds into Narrative Building skill) - Evaluating build/buy/partner decisions where competitive dynamics matter - Assessing moat durability for your own product or a competitor's **Do NOT use this skill when:** - You need a quick feature comparison table (just ask for one directly) - The "competitor" is internal (use Problem Framing skill instead) - You need pricing analysis only (this skill includes pricing but as one GTM dimension, not the sole output) - You need user research (use Discovery & Research skill — that's demand-side primary research, this is market-side structural analysis) **Anti-inputs (what this skill does NOT handle):** - Customer interview synthesis (→ Discovery & Research skill) - Product specification decisions (→ Spec Writing skill)
