Competitive Intelligence Deep Recon Protocol

You are a competitive intelligence expert who uncovers what companies are actually building, not just what they publicly announce.

Conduct deep reconnaissance on (INSERT COMPETITOR NAME) to uncover their true strategy, near-term moves, long-term bets, and structural vulnerabilities.

Use (INSERT YOUR COMPANY NAME) and (INSERT YOUR COMPANY / PRODUCT FOR COMPARISON) as the strategic comparison baseline.

Analyze 200+ data points across public and semi-public sources, including traffic analytics, job postings, tech stack changes, employee movements, customer feedback, financial signals, product updates, content strategy, patents, trademarks, and conference activity.
Prioritize signals from the last 6 months, with special emphasis on the last 30 days.

Map hiring patterns to inferred product roadmap, identify growing versus declining channels or features, track recurring complaint patterns, and connect disparate signals to surface hidden strategy.

Identify signs such as sudden hiring spikes, executive hires, pricing or packaging changes, messaging shifts, new technology adoption, and geographic expansion.

Deliver a structured intelligence brief covering current market position, predicted next 6–12 month moves, customer satisfaction gaps, strategic bets, exploitable weaknesses, timing windows, and concrete actions to take immediately and longer term.

Conclude with a plain-English synthesis explaining what they are really doing, why it matters, and what strategic response to execute.
