AI+ for Competitor Analysis
Map, Monitor and Outmanoeuvre the Competition
Your competitors are building an intelligence edge. This book shows you how to build one first.
Your competitors are moving. You're hearing about it after the fact — a lost deal, a client mention, a colleague's surprise. The intelligence exists: in their job postings, their review platforms, their pricing pages, their announcements. This book gives you the INTEL Protocol — a five-stage system for building a CI operation that produces current competitor profiles, timely monitoring, and decision-driving briefings from twenty-five structured prompt templates. Built by an AI engineering firm for practitioners who know competitive advantage isn't about luck — it's about seeing what's coming before everyone else.
- 25 structured prompt templates for gathering, profiling, monitoring, and briefing across the full CI workflow
- The INTEL Protocol — a five-stage competitive intelligence framework from scope to strategic activation
- Eight public signal categories covering every intelligence source a competitor leaves visible online
- A six-question win/loss framework that surfaces what competitors say about you in the room
- A 90-day plan for solo practitioners, small teams, and anyone building a CI operation from scratch
Strategy analysts, competitive intelligence professionals, product managers, marketing strategists, and business development leads across commercial sectors who are responsible for understanding and tracking the competitive landscape. Also: founders and consultants who produce competitive positioning as a regular deliverable, and solo practitioners who need a system that doesn't require a team.
Also for:Sales professionals who need competitive enablement (objection handling, battle cards, win/loss patterns); marketing managers building differentiated positioning and messaging; research consultants conducting competitive landscape assessments for clients.
