Map your competitors by positioning, features, pricing, and market gaps. Ship a landscape analysis you can present to leadership.

12 steps ~2h For founders & managers Free

A competitive landscape map with AI organizes scattered competitor intel into a visual overview your team can act on. On aidowith.me, the Go-to-Market Baseline route walks you through this in 12 steps. You start by listing 5 to 10 competitors and their public positioning: website copy, pricing pages, and feature lists. AI extracts patterns and maps competitors across 2 axes you choose (like price vs. feature depth, or enterprise vs. SMB focus). The route also builds a feature comparison grid, identifies gaps in the market where no competitor is strong, and drafts a 1-page summary of your competitive position. You get 3 deliverables: a 2x2 positioning map, a feature comparison table, and a gap analysis document. The process takes about 2 hours, compared to the 1 to 2 weeks a strategy consultant would spend on the same analysis. The output is ready for board presentations, investor meetings, or quarterly planning sessions.

The Problem and the Fix

Without a route

  • Your competitive intel lives in 15 browser bookmarks and a half-finished spreadsheet nobody updates
  • You can't explain your competitive positioning in a meeting without rambling for 10 minutes
  • Hiring a consultant for a competitive analysis costs $5,000 or more and takes 2 weeks

With aidowith.me

  • A 2x2 positioning map that shows where every competitor sits at a glance
  • A feature comparison grid and gap analysis identifying where no competitor is strong
  • Board-ready deliverables built in 2 hours instead of 2 weeks

How It Works

1

List competitors and gather public data

Name 5 to 10 competitors and paste their positioning, pricing, and feature info. AI extracts the patterns you'd spend hours finding manually.

2

Build the positioning map and feature grid

Choose your 2 axes and AI plots competitors on a map. Then build a feature comparison table that shows strengths, weaknesses, and overlaps.

3

Identify gaps and draft the summary

AI highlights market gaps where no competitor is strong. You get a 1-page competitive position summary ready for presentations.

Questions

AI organizes and maps the data you provide. It doesn't invent competitor info. You feed it public data from websites, pricing pages, and product announcements. The accuracy depends on your inputs. The route's value is in the structure and visualization, turning scattered data into a clean map and feature grid in hours instead of weeks.

The route works best with 5 to 10 direct competitors for the positioning map. If you have more, it helps you categorize them into tiers (direct, indirect, emerging) first, then map each tier separately. You can create multiple maps for different market segments. This keeps each visualization clear and useful for decision-making.

Yes. The route produces editable deliverables, not static images. When a competitor launches a new feature or changes pricing, you update the inputs and regenerate the affected sections. Most teams refresh their landscape map quarterly. The initial build takes about 2 hours, but updates take 30 to 45 minutes once the framework is in place.
