As a competitive intelligence strategist, perform a detailed competitor analysis for my project [PROJECT_NAME] operating in [SECTOR] with a [OFFER_TYPE] offering. First list the main direct competitors (same solution, same target): [COMPETITOR_1], [COMPETITOR_2], [COMPETITOR_3] and indirect competitors (different solution, same need). For each competitor, describe: value proposition, target customer, price, strengths (3 max) and weaknesses (3 max). Then, build a positioning matrix on two axes: price (low/high) vs innovation (low/high). Place each competitor and my project. Finally, identify 3 competitive advantages I can exploit (e.g., missing feature, better service, lower price). End with a strategic recommendation: differentiation, focus on a segment, or partnership.

Why this prompt works
<p>To use the prompt “Deep-Dive Competitor Analysis”, start by gathering detailed information about your direct and indirect competitors. Use sources such as their websites, annual reports, customer reviews, and social media. Structure your analysis into key categories: products/services, marketing strategies, market shares, strengths and weaknesses.

For instance, define key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor your competitors' evolution, such as prices, innovations, or customer satisfaction. Use tools like SWOT analysis or benchmarking to prioritize your actions. Don't forget to iterate regularly: the market changes, and a one-time analysis is not enough. Update your analysis at least quarterly to stay competitive.</p>
