01
Evidence before opinion
The review uses customer, channel and operating evidence that the buyer can inspect. It specifically tests the risk that screenshots and feature tables are collected without evidence of why customers switch, stay or reject the category.
02
The commercial question
Competitor and demand research starts by making the alternatives buyers actually consider, their evaluation criteria, category claims and unresolved needs visible in one real commercial situation. Declared positioning must be separated from the real experience of enquiry, proof, purchase and support.
03
What the work produces
Competitor landscape establishes the starting evidence; Demand evidence turns it into a controlled direction; Opportunity directions preserves the decision and handover.
04
A responsible boundary
The proposal separates prerequisites, included work and later options. It also names the condition in which focused win-loss interviews when the primary uncertainty lies in recent sales decisions is the more responsible choice.
05
Named ownership
An owner is named for Competitor landscape, an approver for Demand evidence and a continuing custodian for Opportunity directions. Access and review dates are part of the handover.
06
The decision after delivery
See what customers compare, where rivals look interchangeable and which gap is credible. The closing review records what proceeds now, what waits and which evidence will trigger the next decision.
Competitor landscape
Competitor landscape makes the starting evidence visible. It must show how the alternatives buyers actually consider, their evaluation criteria, category claims and unresolved needs appears in the buyer’s actual situation, not in a fictional example.
Demand evidence
Demand evidence turns the chosen direction into a controlled operating route. Its review should expose this known failure: screenshots and feature tables are collected without evidence of why customers switch, stay or reject the category.
Opportunity directions
Opportunity directions carries acceptance and handover. A named owner should be able to verify a sourced landscape, buyer-led comparison dimensions, evidence strength and opportunity hypotheses with counterarguments without relying on an unexplained presentation.

Open the article↗Questions people ask before buying
01What should our team prepare before Competitor and demand research starts?+
Bring one recent customer or campaign case, the current Competitor landscape material, access constraints and the person authorised to make the commercial decision. The opening review uses these inputs to examine the alternatives buyers actually consider, their evaluation criteria, category claims and unresolved needs.
02How is the scope of Competitor and demand research confirmed?+
The scope separates prerequisites, the three named outputs and later options. If the evidence shows that focused win-loss interviews when the primary uncertainty lies in recent sales decisions is sufficient, the smaller route is documented before a proposal is approved.
03How does the work move from evidence to delivery?+
Competitor landscape establishes the starting point, Demand evidence carries the chosen direction and Opportunity directions records the handover. Reviews happen at the decisions between those artifacts, not only at the end.
04What is the acceptance standard for Competitor and demand research?+
Acceptance means a sourced landscape, buyer-led comparison dimensions, evidence strength and opportunity hypotheses with counterarguments. The evidence and owner are named in advance, so a polished presentation cannot substitute for an incomplete operating result.
05When should we choose a smaller engagement?+
Choose focused win-loss interviews when the primary uncertainty lies in recent sales decisions when it resolves the central uncertainty without creating unused process. The full service is appropriate when the connected decisions and ownership all need to change together.
