AI-Assisted Competitive-Analysis Research

AI tools accelerate the research-heavy preparation work that precedes a Present Forward: A Five-Phase Process for Problem-Focused Strategy sprint. Four applications named specifically:

• Trend-mining competitor release notes to see where a category is moving.
• Review-mining competitor products for recurring complaints or delights.
• Building head-to-head feature/positioning comparisons automatically.
• Asking an AI tool open-ended diagnostic questions like 'why is X succeeding?' to surface hypotheses a human analyst might not think to test.

Narrowly about speeding up preparation deliverables — competitive analysis and behavioral-insight gathering — not about generating the strategy itself; that remains a human task (see AI Mock Strategy as a Down-Select Input).
