Most teams operate on hearsay about competitor AI moves. This template forces structured intel — what competitors are doing, where the gaps are, what you should respond to vs. ignore.

What's inside

Five-section template: competitor activity mapping, capability comparison, customer experience layers, white-space opportunities, and explicit response planning. Update quarterly to catch shifts in the landscape.

How to use it

  1. Use it as a starting structure, not a rigid form. Templates exist to remove blank-page friction, not to constrain thinking.
  2. Customize the sections that don't fit. Anything you leave in 'just because' will haunt you later.
  3. Save your filled version somewhere durable. Templates are most valuable the second and third time you use them.
