## About

# Competitor Scan

Research the specified competitor. Use web search for current information. Focus on verifiable facts.

## Process

1. Search for website, pricing page, G2 profile, Capterra profile, recent news.
2. If private or pre-revenue, note what is unavailable rather than guessing.
3. Check user review sites (G2, Capterra, Reddit) for real sentiment.
4. Compare to our product only if CLAUDE.md has company context loaded.

## Output Format

## Good vs Bad Output

GOOD: "Pricing: Pro tier $49/user/mo (pricing page, accessed 2026-05). G2: 4.4/5 across 212 reviews; top complaint: slow support."
BAD: "They're pretty expensive and people seem to like them." (no source, no number, no date)

## Edge Cases

**Private company (no public pricing):** Write "Pricing: not publicly available."
**Very new (few reviews):** Note the count. "G2: 4.2/5 but only 12 reviews."
**Multiple products:** Ask which product before proceeding.
**Cannot find info:** Say what you looked for and where. No speculation.

## Rules
- Cite every claim with a URL.
- Use actual pricing from the pricing page, not from blog posts.
- Save with this exact dated filename: `competitor-[name]-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` (anywhere in the repo - the ignore rule keys off the date in the name, not the folder).
- Saved that way, the file is git-ignored by default; drop the date and it is NOT protected. It can hold competitive detail you may not want public. To version a reviewed copy, use `git add -f `.
