Competitive Analysis Skill (Zhang Zaiwang Methodology)

A systematic competitive analysis framework based on Zhang Zaiwang's Effective Competitive Analysis, providing a complete set of analysis methods, tools, and templates.

Core Philosophy

  1. Know yourself, know your rivals - Competitive analysis is the foundation of product strategy
  2. Co-opetition mindset - A new perspective where competition and collaboration coexist
  3. Right intention → seize momentum → understand the path → master methods → unite people → take action - A complete analytical philosophy
  4. 6-Step Competitive Analysis Process - A systematic operational workflow

🎯 How to Use This Skill

Key Principle: Begin with the End in Mind, Goal-Driven

Before using this skill, you must first clarify the analysis objective. Without a clear goal, competitive analysis loses direction and becomes a meaningless pile of data.

Interactive Startup Flow

When a user requests a competitive analysis, if any of the following key pieces of information are unclear, you must ask the user first:

6 Key Questions (Starting Point for Any Analysis):

  1. Which product is being analyzed? - Define the subject of analysis
  2. What stage is the product currently at? - Confirm the development phase (Concept / Build / Launch)
  3. What are the main problems and challenges the product faces? - Diagnose the core issue
  4. What is the purpose of this competitive analysis? - Determine the intent (decision support / learning & benchmarking / market monitoring)
  5. What are the specific goals of this analysis? - Set measurable objectives
  6. What is the expected deliverable? - Clarify the output format
