Competitor Research Workflow

Start with a clean input table. Keep source data and AI-generated output in separate columns so you can review, filter, and rerun prompts safely.

  • Column A: Competitor
  • Column B: URL
  • Column C: Page copy/notes
  • Column D: Review snippets
  • Column E: Positioning
  • Column F: Strengths
  • Column G: Weaknesses
  • Column H: Battlecard note

Recommended process:

  1. Add 10-20 sample rows first.
  2. Write one prompt for a single row.
  3. Review output quality and tighten the prompt.
  4. Fill the formula down the column.
  5. Add a QA column for accuracy, missing context, or manual review.
