Competitor Strategy Decoder
What are my strongest competitors doing that is actually worth learning from?
We compare several competitors at once and look for the patterns the strong ones share.
The short answer
The three patterns shared by the stronger competitors, rather than a longer list of things one competitor happens to do. The free version of this check is still being built. The work that resolves what it finds is available today.
- We show our working. Every finding names the source it came from and the date we observed it, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
- One recommendation, not a catalogue. This check maps to one specific piece of work, decided in advance, so the finding chooses the recommendation.
- We say when nothing is wrong. If this check finds no meaningful problem, it recommends nothing at all.

Questions people ask about this check
What exactly does the Competitor Strategy Decoder look at?
We compare several competitors at once and look for the patterns the strong ones share. Specifically, it checks services and geographic coverage, published content and its depth, and 6 other things listed in full on this page. The three patterns shared by the stronger competitors, rather than a longer list of things one competitor happens to do.
Can I run this check today?
Not yet. The free version of this check is still being built, and we would rather say so than show you a button that does nothing. The work that resolves what it finds, Advanced Competitor Intelligence Report, is available today, and we can run this analysis for you as part of it.
Why does this matter to my revenue?
Competitors rarely win for one reason. They win because several ordinary things are done consistently, which is a strategy you can copy.
What happens if I ask you to handle it?
We deliver Advanced Competitor Intelligence Report as 4 separate steps over 21 days, and every step appears in your portal with its own due date so you can watch it happen without chasing anyone. You receive 4 named deliverables at the end. Nothing is billed until you have seen the full scope and approved the price.
What do you need from me?
Only what we cannot find ourselves: the rivals you most want measured, if you have a view. We gather everything else from what is already published about your business.
Why can I not see the price on this page?
Because a number on its own tells you very little. Create your free account and the price appears in your portal, sitting beside the full scope, the steps, the deliverables, and the delivery date, with an approval step before anything is billed. There is no card and no charge to create the account.
Will this guarantee that AI recommends my business?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who says it will. Nobody controls what an AI assistant says. What can be controlled is the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of the evidence those systems read about you, and that is the work we do. We reply within two business hours, and our working day is Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Pacific Time.
