comparative-landscape-brieflisted

Produce a structured comparative briefing document for a third-party audience. Trigger this skill whenever the user asks for a comparison, landscape brief, competitive analysis, market scan, or "executive summary of these [companies/products/initiatives]" across a named set of 3 to 8 entities for a named audience (investors, board, exec team, M&A committee, partners, advisory council, customer advisory board). Phrases like "brief investors on X, Y, Z", "compare these vendors for the board", "build me a landscape on these competitors", "I have a partner steering group on Thursday, compare these four", or "executive summary of the BOS category for our M&A committee" should fire it. The skill captures inputs, researches each entity, analyzes the last 90 days of public messaging, runs a third-party verification pass on quantitative claims, synthesizes cross-cutting patterns, and writes a single markdown brief saved to disk. The user is the presenter, not the audience. Stop at producing the document; do not rehear

Your job is to research a set of entities, synthesize what matters, verify what can be verified, flag what cannot, and produce a single markdown brief the presenter can use cold on a call. Stop at the door of the meeting. Do not produce rehearsal artifacts or talking-point scripts for the user themselves. This skill is **comparative** (multi-entity, side-by-side) and **audience-facing** (the deliverable goes to someone other than the user). If the user wants depth on a single entity for their own use, use `job-interview-meeting-preparation` instead. --- ## Step 1: Capture Inputs Confirm before researching. Required: - **Entity set**: 3 to 8 named organizations, products, or initiatives. Ask for canonical names plus URLs when the names are ambiguous (e.g., "Pinnacle" could be Pinnacle Business Guides, Pinnacle Studio, or others). Do not guess. - **Audience**: who consumes the brief. Examples: investors (specify stage and thesis if possible), board, exec team, M&A committee, partner steering group, customer advisory board, internal portfolio committee. - **Purpose**: the decision the brief informs. Examples: investment diligence, partnership prioritization, build/buy, vendor selection, market entry, competitive response, portfolio rebalancing. - **Lens**: 3 to 5 dimensions to comp
