A competitor research brief

The companies or products to examine, the decision you are making, and public or approved internal sources.

Use these steps as a starting brief for your agent.

1. Define the question and what a useful brief must include.
2. Provide sources, or use available research capabilities to collect them.
3. Ask for a comparison that separates evidence from interpretation and includes dates.
4. Review citations and save the resulting brief with its source list.

A concise brief with comparable criteria, links to evidence, unanswered questions, and a proposed next step.
