Market Positioning Analyzer
PRODevelop strategic market positioning using Porter's frameworks, perceptual mapping, and competitive analysis to differentiate your brand and capture market share.
Example Usage
“Help me develop a competitive positioning analysis for our project management software. Our current positioning emphasizes ‘most features’ but customers are increasingly choosing simpler tools. Analyze the top 5 competitors (Asana, Monday.com, Notion, ClickUp, Linear) across dimensions that matter most to SMB customers. Create a perceptual map showing where each competitor sits on ‘Simplicity vs. Power’, identify white space positioning opportunities, and develop a positioning statement for a ‘powerful yet intuitive’ strategy.”
