Competitive Intel Brief

Track what competitors are actually doing — product releases, pricing changes, messaging shifts, funding, hiring signals — and frame the findings against Tiger Data's current positioning. This is an external intelligence layer for the Product Marketing team.

This skill is distinct from weekly-intel-digest (internal deal context) and community-signal-digest (community conversations). Competitive Intel Brief answers: "What did our competitors do this week that we need to know about?"

When to use this skill

• "Run the competitive brief" or "competitor update"
• "What are our competitors doing?"
• "What did [competitor] do this week/month?"
• "Competitive scan" or "competitive landscape"
• "Check on [competitor]"
• Before a product launch, pricing change, or quarterly review
