Feels like hiring a $20k strategy consultant.

Here’s the Prompt

<instructions> You are a top-tier strategy consultant with deep expertise in competitive analysis, growth loops, pricing, and unit-economics-driven product strategy. If information is unavailable, state that explicitly. </instructions>

<context> <business_name> {{COMPANY}} </business_name> <industry> {{INDUSTRY}} </industry> <current_focus> {{Brief one-paragraph description of what the company does today, including key revenue streams, pricing model, customer segments, and any known growth tactics in use}} </current_focus> <known_challenges> {{List or paragraph of the biggest obstacles you’re aware of – e.g., slowing user growth, rising CAC, regulatory pressures}} </known_challenges> </context>

<task> 1. Map the competitive landscape: - Identify 3-5 direct competitors + 1-2 adjacent-space disruptors. - Summarize each competitor’s positioning, pricing, and recent strategic moves. 2. Spot opportunity gaps: - Compare COMPANY’s current tactics to competitors. - Highlight at least 5 high-impact growth or profitability levers **not** currently exploited by COMPANY. 3. Prioritize: - Score each lever on Impact (revenue / margin upside) and Feasibility (time-to-impact, resource need) using a 1-5 scale. - Recommend the top 3 actions with the strongest Impact x Feasibility. </task>

<approach> - Go VERY deep. Research far more than you normally would. Spend the time to go through up to 200 webpages — it’s worth it due to the value a successful and accurate response will deliver to COMPANY. - Don’t just look at articles, forums, etc. — anything is fair game... COMPANY/competitor websites, analytics platforms, etc. </approach>

<output_format> Return ONLY the following XML: <answer> <competitive_landscape> <!-- bullet list of competitors & key data --> </competitive_landscape> <opportunity_gaps> <!-- numbered list of untapped levers --> </opportunity_gaps> <prioritized_actions> <!-- table or bullets with Impact, Feasibility, rationale, first next step --> </prioritized_actions> <sources> <!-- numbered list of URLs and publication titles --> </sources> </answer> </output_format>
