Most competitor intelligence is built to look thorough, not to get used - a quarterly deck nobody reopens. This piece breaks down a system that does the opposite: three research modes (weekly digest, feature matrix, full report), every finding scored as a threat instead of just logged, every gap forced into a Build/Partner/Ignore decision, and output routed by role so the CEO, CMO, and CPO each get only what's theirs to act on. The full skill is open-source on GitHub.
