# Competitive Analysis Skill

Analyze competitors and market dynamics to inform product strategy. Master competitive intelligence and strategic positioning.

## Market Analysis

### TAM/SAM/SOM Calculation

```
TAM (Total Addressable Market):
= Total customers × Average deal size
= 10M companies × $10K = $100B

SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market):
= TAM × Segment % you can reach
= $100B × 10% = $10B

SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market):
= SAM × Realistic market share (3-5 years)
= $10B × 5% = $500M
```

### Market Dynamics

| Factor | Analysis | Impact |
|--------|----------|--------|
| Growth | CAGR % | High/Med/Low |
| Competition | # players | Fragmented/Consolidated |
| Barriers | Entry difficulty | High/Med/Low |
| Regulation | Compliance needs | Increasing/Stable |

## Competitor Research

### Competitor Matrix

| Feature | You | Comp A | Comp B | Comp C |
|---------|-----|--------|--------|--------|
| Feature 1 | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ |
| Feature 2 | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ |
| Pricing | $99 | $149 | $79 | $199 |
| Target | SMB | Enterprise | Startup | Mid |

Threat of New Entrants: [Low/Med/High]
```

### SWOT Analysis

```
STRENGTHS          | WEAKNESSES

[ ] Competitor list complete mi?
[ ] Feature matrix current mi?
[ ] Battlecards distributed mi?

2. **New Competitor** → Rapid assessment, positioning review
3. **Feature Gap** → Prioritize, or reposition
