A repeatable path from competitive question to justified action.
The quality bar is not report length. It is whether the evidence changes what you should do.
- DecisionStart with what you must decide.
- EvidenceResearch what can actually answer it.
- BoundariesKeep unknowns and weak claims visible.
- ActionRespond only when the signal earns it.
1. State the decision
Your company & competitor
Define the two sides being compared.
ICP & buying committee
Tell the system whose behavior matters.
Known trigger & objections
Provide the context already known inside your team.
Decision mode
Choose the commercial decision the research must serve.
2. Investigate only what can change that decision
Collect
Gather relevant public and customer-supplied evidence.
Qualify
Rank evidence by source type, recency, relevance and confidence.
Cross-check
Look for corroboration, contradictions and missing proof.
Stop padding
Reject material that does not earn a place in the decision.
3. Convert evidence into a response
What changed
The observation.
Why it matters
The commercial implication.
What remains unknown
The boundary.
What to do now
The action or experiment.
What not to do
The overreaction to avoid.
How to measure
The signal that would confirm or disconfirm the response.
