Competitive Landscape Mapping
Build a complete competitive analysis deck. This is a two-phase process: gather requirements and get outline approval first, then build.
Environment check
This skill works in both the PowerPoint add-in and chat. Identify which you're in before starting — the mechanics differ, the workflow doesn't:
- Add-in — the deck is open live; build slides directly into it.
- Chat — generate a
.pptxfile (or build into one the user uploaded).
Everything below applies in both.
Phase 1 — Scope the analysis
Competitive analysis means different things to different people. Before any research or slide-building, use ask_user_question to pin down what they actually want. Don't guess — a 20-slide peer benchmarking deck and a 5-slide market map are both "competitive analysis" and take completely different shapes.
Gather in one round if you can (the tool takes up to 4 questions):
