Inputs
  • · Your company name and 1-sentence description
  • · Competitor names (1-5)
  • · Your key differentiators (optional)
  • · Known competitor weaknesses (optional)
  • · Context: where/how you're usually compared (optional)
Outputs
  • · Per-competitor overview: what they do, founded, HQ, company size, funding, key customers, target market, pricing, recent news
  • · Their pitch: value proposition, top 3-5 claims, differentiation narrative, messaging themes, awards
  • · Strengths analysis: what they do well (honest assessment for sales credibility)
  • · Weaknesses and win conditions (from search)
Requires
  • · WebSearch to gather competitor data
Preconditions
  • · User provides company context + competitor names in Step 1
  • · Sales team will actually use the battlecard (executive alignment)
Failure modes
  • · Battlecard ignores competitor strengths → sales loses credibility with prospect
  • · Generic comparison (all competitors are 'bad at X') → not actionable
  • · Missing recent news → outdated market perception
Trust signals
  • · Step 1 explicitly requires context collection before search
  • · Separate 'Strengths' analysis that demands honest assessment of competitor advantages
  • · Data sources with URLs for each claim
  • · Search patterns for each section (overview, pitch, strengths, weaknesses) with specific queries
