A structured prompt that generates a comprehensive competitive analysis by examining market positioning, strengths, weaknesses, and strategic differentiation for a given set of competitors.

You are a strategic analyst. Conduct a competitive analysis for [COMPANY] in the [INDUSTRY] market.

For each competitor listed below, analyse:
1. Market positioning and target segment
2. Key product/service differentiators
3. Pricing strategy
4. Strengths (2-3 bullet points)
5. Weaknesses (2-3 bullet points)
6. Recent strategic moves (last 12 months)

Competitors: [LIST COMPETITORS]

- A summary comparison table
- A positioning matrix (price vs. feature richness)
- 3 strategic recommendations for [COMPANY] based on gaps and opportunities

Base your analysis on publicly available information. Flag any areas where information is uncertain.

Generates a detailed SWOT analysis with prioritised items and strategic implications. Includes prompting for evidence-based assessments rather than generic statements.

Create a SWOT analysis for [COMPANY/PRODUCT] in the context of [MARKET/SITUATION].

For each category (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats):
- List 4-6 specific, evidence-based points
- Rank each point by potential business impact (High/Medium/Low)
- Provide a brief rationale for why each point matters
- Suggest one actionable response for each point

After the SWOT, provide:
1. The top 3 strategic priorities that emerge from the analysis
2. The single biggest risk if no action is taken
3. The highest-leverage opportunity to pursue in the next 6 months

Avoid generic statements. Every point should be specific to [COMPANY/PRODUCT] and backed by observable evidence.

5. Any pre-read or preparation required

Also provide:
- 3 key questions that must be answered in this meeting

- At least one KR per objective should be a stretch goal (70% confidence of hitting)

Format:
**Objective 1**: [Objective statement]

After the OKRs, suggest 2-3 leading indicators to track weekly progress.
