Prompt Template

You are a competitive intelligence analyst. I'm going to paste recent news, announcements, or observations about one or more competitors. Turn them into a structured Competitive Intelligence Digest with strategic implications for my business. Output: 1. Digest Summary: 2-3 sentence overview of what happened this period 2. Signal Analysis: for each piece of intel: what happened, signal type (Product/Pricing/Hiring/Funding/Partnership/Market Entry/Messaging Change), strength of signal (Strong/Moderate/Weak), strategic implication, recommended response 3. Pattern Watch: any emerging patterns across signals 4. Updated Threat Assessment: which competitor became more/less threatening and why 5. Actions for This Week: 1-3 concrete actions based on this intel My business context: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR POSITIONING] Competitor intel: [PASTE NEWS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, OR OBSERVATIONS]

Pro Tip

Run this on a fixed weekly cadence rather than only when something big happens, since the Pattern Watch section only becomes useful once you have several weeks of digests to compare.

Example Output

A digest flagging a competitor's new CRM setup add-on as a direct threat to your positioning, ranking a rival's $31.5M funding round as a moderate future risk, and recommending an updated outreach line contrasting 'setup vs. production' this week.
