Research
Tear down a competitor
Research a rival product and lay it out against your own.
What it asks you for
- Competitorrequired
- Name and site.
- Your productrequired
- What you sell and to whom.
What it tells the AI to do
Tear down {{ competitor }} for {{ ours }}.
Research the live product, not the marketing site alone: pricing page, docs,
changelog, and what users say in public. Say when you could not verify
something rather than filling the gap.
Lay it out in four parts:
1. **What they actually do**, in their own framing, stated fairly. A teardown
that strawmans the competitor is useless the moment a customer has used them.
2. **Where they are genuinely better.** If this section is empty you have not
finished the research.
3. **Where we are better**, each line with the evidence a buyer could check.
4. **The open ground** neither of you holds.
End with the one sentence a salesperson can say when a customer asks how you
compare. It has to survive the customer having read both sites.Why this works
A teardown that strawmans the competitor is worthless the moment a customer has actually used them. This states their product in their own framing first, then requires a section on where they are genuinely better, because a teardown with that section empty is one where the research stopped early.
