COMPETITIVE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Understand public competitor signals and keep strategic conclusions grounded in evidence.

For a team with an approved market-research purpose, collect permitted public information about selected competitors and organize observations about products, messaging, and audiences into a report. Preserve source links and dates, respect access and reuse terms, avoid confidential or personal information, and separate observed facts from interpretation. A strengths-and-weaknesses assessment is a hypothesis, not a verified conclusion; have a researcher check sources and a strategy owner approve the report before it informs business decisions.

  4. Check source terms and factual context

    Verify important claims, note gaps, and avoid collecting confidential or unnecessary personal data.

  5. Approve the report before strategic use

The handoff

A source-linked competitor brief with observation dates, tentative analysis, and reviewer notes.

Keep in mind

Public sources can be incomplete or outdated, and strategic assessments depend on assumptions. Follow source terms, preserve evidence and dates, verify claims in context, avoid confidential or personal data, and require a researcher to review conclusions before they guide a decision.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Approve research scope and collection sources

Document market purpose, permitted public sources, and applicable access or reuse limits.

Preserve citations and observation dates

Keep source evidence connected to every material statement.

Separate findings from interpretation

Label assessments as hypotheses and state the evidence and limitations behind them.

Restrict report access and decision use

Share only with the intended team and require accountable review before consequential use.

Keep exploring

Review competitor research

Gather permitted public information about a named competitor and prepare a source-linked internal brief.

Review public software pricing briefs

Collect permitted public pricing pages and prepare a dated comparison brief for a business analyst. Keep the result accurate, appropriately private, and ready for an accountable person to review.
