Competitive Intel Proof Gate

Summary

Competitive Intelligence is the first executable Intelligence Research OS vertical because it exercises missions, source packs, signals, deltas, evidence, battlecards, and decision-ready output packs.

Products Reviewed

• Kompyte — real-time tracking across websites, reviews, content, social, ads, and job postings, filtered into actionable updates and battlecards.
• Klue battlecards — competitive enablement workflow with many-source intel collection, centralization, battlecards, and revenue-team usage.
• Crayon — competitor monitoring, relevant alerts, battlecard updates, engagement data, and sales enablement.
• Crayon battlecards — keeping pricing/product activity current inside competitive assets.
• RivalBeam and Signal Labs — newer signal-oriented positioning around AI briefs, auto-updated battlecards, source attribution, and recommended actions.

What to Copy

• Mission setup: competitors/entities, watched surfaces, source families, output intent.
• Source packs: competitor websites, pricing pages, changelogs, docs/blogs, job posts, GitHub, Reddit/HN, reviews, news/blogs.
• Signal triage: launches, pricing changes, positioning changes, complaints, hiring signals, repo/tool movement, analyst/news mentions, anomalies.
• Battlecards connected to proof points and source evidence.
• Output packs: competitor digest, battlecard, positioning shift report, sales talk tracks, product implications.

What to Avoid

• Noisy monitoring feeds without decision synthesis.
• LLM summaries treated as evidence.
• Separate bespoke engines for each use case.
• Dashboard-only output that cannot be called from workflows.
• Internal scheduling infrastructure.

Our Wedge

Intelligence Research OS should be a source-backed mission execution layer:

• Every signal has source/evidence refs.
• Every battlecard proof point cites recorded evidence.
• Multi-POV synthesis is native to the engine.
• Deltas explain what changed and why it matters.
• Outputs are available as JSON/Markdown for CLI, skill, API, and external workflow calls.

Build Decision

Build Competitive Intelligence vertical-first, then generalize the shared mission engine.
