Competitor Landscape
Use when market-research summary matrix is not enough — full positioning → positioning-wedge skill.
Checklist
- List direct, indirect, and substitute solutions
- Capture pricing, audience, and core promise for each competitor
- Mine reviews and forums for recurring complaints
- Map whitespace and positioning options
- Optional: one-page battle card per top 2–3 competitors
- Record competitive kill criteria
Competitor matrix
| Competitor | Type | Audience | Price | Strength | Weakness | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Battle card (optional, per key competitor)
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Their promise | One line |
| Best for | Segment they win |
| Weakness | From reviews or gaps |
| Our wedge | One sentence vs this player |
| Proof | URL or quote |
Interpretation
- Competition usually validates demand.
- No competitors can mean an unserved niche or a market that will not pay.
- Kill when a dominant incumbent blocks entry or the market is hyper-competitive without a wedge.
