Anything solving the same customer job counts as competition, spreadsheets included. From that wider set, the analysis runs Porter scoring, positioning maps, rival profiles and a Blue Ocean pass down to one moat-tested statement.
- Builds the competitor set in three rings: direct rivals, indirect alternatives and future threats, treating anything that solves the same customer job (including spreadsheets and manual work) as competition, not just lookalike products.
- Scores Porter's Five Forces on a 1-5 intensity scorecard: new entrants, supplier power, buyer power, substitutes and rivalry, each with the key factors driving the score and an overall industry attractiveness verdict.
- Draws a positioning map on the two dimensions customers actually care about, plots every competitor on it and looks for white space, then validates that the gap represents a real customer need rather than an empty quadrant nobody wants.
- Profiles the top 3-5 rivals with a fixed template: company overview, product and pricing, go-to-market motion, documented strengths, documented weaknesses and inferred next moves, sourced from public material like reviews, job postings and release notes.
- Runs the Blue Ocean four-actions pass: which factors the whole industry over-invests in can be eliminated or reduced, and which untouched factors can be raised or created, mapped on a strategy canvas against the incumbents.
- Tests every claimed advantage against the moat criteria (can it be copied in under 2 years, does it matter to customers, is it durable) and condenses the result into a positioning statement: for whom, solving what, unlike which alternative, different how.

-
I only know three or four of my competitors. Is that enough to run a Five Forces or positioning map?
Yes, the frameworks work with the rivals and forces you can actually name, since a thin but honest input beats a long list you cannot reason about. You add more competitors as you learn the market.
-
Porter's Five Forces feels like a business-school exercise. Does it actually end in a decision?
It is structured to end in one, not just a tidy diagram. Each force scores your industry's attractiveness, and that plus the positioning map points you to where the white space is.
-
Will it monitor what competitors do month to month?
No, it is a point-in-time analysis that produces a positioning statement and a strategic read, not a live tracker. Rerun it when the market shifts or you enter a new segment.
