Competitive Teardown
A production-grade competitor analysis framework: 6 intelligence sources, a 12-dimension scorecard, feature/pricing matrices, SWOT, UX audit, action plan, and a sales-ready battle card.

What it does
- Data collection framework: tells you exactly what to pull from 6 sources — website/product, user reviews (G2, Capterra, TrustRadius), job postings, SEO/content, social & community, and financial/market data — and what each signal means strategically.
- 12-dimension scoring rubric: features, pricing, UX, performance, docs, support, integrations, security, scalability, brand, community, innovation, each with explicit 1/3/5 anchors and a /60 total so you can compare yourself side by side.
- Ready-made artifacts: feature comparison matrix, pricing model comparison + position map, per-competitor SWOT with an evidence rule, first-run UX audit (TTFV, steps to activation), 2x2 positioning map, three-horizon action plan with weighted priority scoring, one-page battle card (landmines + objection handling), and a 7-slide exec deck outline.
- Guardrails: a "clarify first" input checklist, validation checkpoints, a troubleshooting table, success criteria, and an explicit out-of-scope list (no primary research, financial modeling, or legal/IP analysis).
Who it's for
- PMs and product leads prepping a roadmap or strategy session
- Product marketers and marketers who must arm sales with battle cards
- Founders and strategists sizing up incumbents before entering a segment
Examples
- "Score our top 3 competitors on the 12 dimensions and include a column for us" → evidence-backed /60 scorecard.
- "Competitor A just changed pricing — run a focused teardown on the pricing dimensions" → pricing model table plus a repositioning recommendation.
- "I pitch on Thursday, give me a one-page battle card for Competitor B" → where we win, landmine questions, and responses to "they're cheaper".

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the business-growth/competitive-teardown folder from the GitHub repo borghei/Claude-Skills into my ~/.claude/skills/competitive-teardown/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/borghei/Claude-Skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r Claude-Skills/business-growth/competitive-teardown ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open your terminal (Terminal on macOS, PowerShell or WSL on Windows).
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/borghei/Claude-Skills.git - Make sure the skills folder exists:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy just this skill:
cp -r Claude-Skills/business-growth/competitive-teardown ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify with
ls ~/.claude/skills/competitive-teardown— you should see SKILL.md (and a scripts folder if included). - Restart Claude Code, then ask something like "run a competitive teardown on X" or "build a battle card for X".
- To use the Python helpers (competitor_scorer.py, feature_matrix_builder.py, battle_card_generator.py) you need Python 3 installed — confirm the scripts folder actually ships in the repo first.
