The Competitor Reading Pack
38 prompts for assessing both sides honestly — what a competitor's hiring and pricing actually reveal, and the capability of your own you keep counting that no longer exists.
Key Capabilities & Features:
- •Competitor assessment from observable behaviour — hiring, pricing, release cadence, who they stopped serving — rather than from their marketing
- •What a competitor is structurally unable to do, which is more useful than what they are currently doing
- •Symmetric rigour: the self-assessment is at least as hard as the competitor one, which is the opposite of how this normally goes
- •A specific check for the capability your plan assumes and your company no longer has
This is 2 sections of The Art of War Strategy Disciplines. The full toolkit adds 6 more sections and 132 prompts in total for $44.

Architecture & System Overview
Most competitive analysis is generous about your own capabilities and rigorous about everyone else's. That asymmetry produces confident plans built on a strength you had three years ago.
This is the Knowing Yourself and Knowing The Other Side sections of The Art of War Strategy Disciplines, sold on their own — 38 prompts for the assessment that runs before any strategy is chosen.
The competitor prompts work from observable behaviour rather than stated positioning. Who a company is hiring tells you what they intend six months out. What they have stopped doing tells you where they are constrained. A price change tells you about their cost structure or their desperation, and which one it is can usually be determined.
The more valuable output is what a competitor is structurally unable to do. A company with an enterprise sales motion cannot serve a self-serve customer profitably no matter how much they would like to, and that constraint is far more durable than any feature gap.
And the self-assessment is deliberately the harder half. The prompt that finds the capability your plan assumes and your organisation no longer has is the one people find uncomfortable and quote afterwards.
If you also need the five factors, terrain, declining a contest, timing or campaign sequencing, the full toolkit covers all eight areas.

What they cannot do
We had been trying to match a competitor feature for feature. The structural constraint prompt showed their sales motion makes our segment unprofitable for them permanently. Completely changed where we spend.
The self-assessment was the painful half
Our plan assumed an in-house design capability that left eighteen months ago. Everyone knew and nobody had said it in a planning meeting.
Assessment, not decision
It tells you where you and they stand. Deciding what to do about it is the rest of the toolkit, which I would buy if starting again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this relate to The Art of War Strategy Disciplines?
This is 2 sections of The Art of War Strategy Disciplines, sold on its own for people who only have this problem. It contains the same 38 prompts as that part of the toolkit — nothing is held back or rewritten. If you need more than these areas, the full toolkit is $44 and covers 8 sections with 132 prompts.
Do I need competitor data I do not have?
No. The prompts work from what is publicly observable — job adverts, pricing pages, release notes, who they talk about serving. That is deliberately the input, because the analysis has to be repeatable rather than dependent on inside information.
Should I buy this or the full toolkit?
This if you need the assessment and already know what you are doing with it. The full toolkit if the actual question is what to compete for — the decline-a-contest and terrain sections are where that gets decided.
