Competitive Intelligence
Who are we really competing against, are we winning or losing, and what should we do about it?
Know the battlefield before you commit to the fight.
Finished intelligence, not raw material. Here is what lands in your hands, every line of it linked to a capture.
- CEO Action Agenda: five to seven decision items with a competitive position snapshot and strategic imperatives matrix
- Market intelligence: industry forces, market sizing, regulatory landscape, and technology trajectory
- Per-competitor dossiers covering business, product, customer, quality, capability, posture, and IP intelligence
- Standalone battlecards, one per competitor: threat level, claims and counters, win/loss patterns, discovery questions
- Intelligence Confidence Assessment with source quality ratings
- Cross-competitor analysis with eleven comparative views (Extended and Full)
- Strategic intelligence: SWOT with action bridge, gap analysis, tail risk register, game theory, and a sales intelligence layer (Extended and Full)
- War gaming and scenario planning with competitor response models, client playbooks, and a trigger watchlist (Full)
Structured method. Primary sources. A person who signs off.
A structured method decides what gets gathered: public and subscribed sources, your intake if you choose to share one, and the frameworks that fit the question. Every claim is checked against a primary source and linked to a dated capture in the Evidence Locker. A person who knows your name reviews it before it ships, and Ask Rathvane, the consultant trained on your engagement, holds the research beneath the page. AI is our infrastructure, the way imaging is a surgeon's. The judgment is ours.
You bring the decision
One brief, a multi-person intake, or nothing at all. All three produce finished intelligence.
We gather and check
Public and subscribed sources, your intake, the frameworks that fit. Every claim checked against a primary source.
You receive the one screen
What is wrong, what it costs, the one move, three fixes, and where the proof sits. The full deliverable and the locker sit behind it.
Scope and pricing, published.
The entry price covers the base scope below. Depth is a tier. Scale is an add-on with a published unit price. Published prices apply to companies up to $100M in revenue; above that we scope in the first conversation.

Three things people want to know.
Can I see one before I buy?
Yes. Ask for a redacted sample and we will send a real one from a comparable engagement, with the captures intact.
What if the evidence is thin?
The deliverable says so. Where a claim cannot be checked against a primary source, it is marked as reasoning, not fact. We would rather hand you a gap than a guess.
How much do I have to share?
As much or as little as you choose. One brief, a multi-person intake, or nothing at all. The depth of calibration rises with what you share; the intelligence is finished either way.
Every claim links to a dated capture of its source.
