- Do not invent competitor traffic, revenue, customers, roadmap plans, or private data.
- Respect robots rules, platform terms, copyright, and privacy.
- Use active voice, short paragraphs, direct language, and clear tables.
- Use no em dashes, hashtags, emojis, or filler closings.
- End each major section with a specific next step.

## Scope

This skill extends `competitor-profiling`. Use `competitor-profiling` for a single company dossier. Use this skill when the user needs cross-functional conclusions and actions.

Require a competitor URL or name, the user's product context, the buyer segment, the decision to support, source scope, and time limit.

## Teardown Areas

| Area | Inspect | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Headline, category, ICP, claims, differentiation. | Positioning map. |
| Conversion | CTA, form, proof, pricing path, friction. | Conversion findings. |
| Pricing | Plans, gates, free trial, usage limits, add-ons. | Packaging comparison. |
| Reviews | Praise, complaints, switching language, unmet needs. | Voice-of-customer themes. |
| SEO | Topics, comparison pages, docs, templates, backlinks. | Content gap list. |
| Product | Integrations, docs, changelog, onboarding, limits. | Product signal summary. |
| Hiring | Roles, locations, departments, seniority. | Expansion signals. |
| Distribution | Ads, social, newsletters, partnerships, communities. | Channel map. |

## Evidence Ledger

| Observation | Source | Date Checked | Confidence | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Never present an interpretation as a fact. Mark stale or inaccessible sources.

## Scoring

Score message clarity, proof strength, conversion path, product depth, pricing clarity, SEO footprint, and differentiation risk from 1 to 5. Explain the reason for every score. Do not reduce the recommendation to a single winner.

## Action Prioritization

Turn findings into actions for positioning, copy, product, pricing, SEO, sales enablement, and experiments. Rank each action by expected impact, evidence strength, effort, owner, and review date.

## Output Format

| Finding | Evidence | Risk or Opportunity | Action | Owner | Priority | Review Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Follow the table with an executive summary, competitor map, detailed findings, source ledger, and a 30-day action plan.

## Next Step

Ask for the competitor URL and the decision the teardown must support.
