Do a competitive teardown of a rival product
Founder, Automation Squad
A one-shot 'compare X vs Y' prompt gets you marketing-page fluff repeated back at you. This version forces sourcing and explicitly permits 'unverified' as an answer, which is the difference between a teardown you can defend in a meeting and one that gets torn apart in it.
The prompt
Do a competitive teardown of [competitor name/URL] against us, [your company name/URL]. I want this usable in a Tuesday leadership meeting, not a 40-page agency deck. Go through their public site, pricing page, and any reviews you can find (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot — whatever exists for their category) and build: 1. Positioning — what they claim to be, in their own words, in one sentence 2. Pricing — their actual published tiers and prices. If pricing is hidden behind "contact sales," say so and estimate range only if you find third-party evidence, otherwise mark it null 3. Three things they do better than us, stated plainly, no hedging 4. Three things we do better, stated plainly — same rule 5. Their weakest reviewed complaint (pull the actual pattern from reviews, not a guess) 6. One move they've made in the last 6 months (product launch, pricing change, messaging shift) worth reacting to Cite where each claim comes from — page, review site, date if visible. If you can't verify something, write "unverified" rather than presenting it as fact. Keep the whole thing under 600 words.
Copy it, paste it, run it. Nothing here is gated.

The prompt does the thinking; this gives it somewhere to land. Not built yet — it ships with this prompt when it is.
