# Startup Competitors Deep competitive intelligence that goes beyond surface-level profiles. Produces actionable battle cards, pricing landscape analysis, and strategic vulnerability mapping using real web data. ## How It Works ``` INTAKE → RESEARCH (3 parallel waves) → SYNTHESIS → BATTLE CARDS ``` The process is focused: understand the product, research competitors deeply across 3 dimensions, synthesize findings, and produce actionable output. Typical runtime: 15-25 minutes in Claude Code (parallel agents), 30-45 minutes in Claude.ai (sequential). ### Language Default output language is **English**. If the user writes in another language or explicitly requests one, use that language for all outputs instead. --- ## Phase 1: Intake Short and focused — 1-2 rounds of questions, not an extended interview. The goal is just enough context to run targeted research. ### Check for Prior startup-design Work Before asking questions, check if a `startup-design` session has already been completed for this project. Look for these files in the working directory or subdirectories: - `01-discovery/competitor-landscape.md` — competitor profiles and analysis - `01-discovery/market-analysis.md` — market size, trends, regulatory - `01-discovery/target-audience.md` — customer personas, pain points - `00-intake/brief.md` — product description and context If these files exist, read them and use the data as a head start: - Extract the product description, target market, and known competi...
