  • Do not speculate about the competitor's performance metrics unless they are provided.
  • Base observations only on the supplied content and feedback; flag when evidence is thin.

  • Example competitor_name: Acme Software; competitor_content: website, recent LinkedIn campaigns, and pricing page; customer_feedback: G2 reviews and support tickets; our_brand_context: small business CRM with a strong onboarding experience.
