Map the competitors in a market
Each competitor with its product, target customer, price, funding and size, and the gaps no one covers.
- You start it: When you start it
- Odyssey deep research
What it does
The task
Find the companies that sell product type to customer type. Use G2, Crunchbase, search results and the companies' own websites, and include up to count companies. For each one, record the website, the main product, the target customer, the lowest paid price, the funding, the number of employees and the G2 rating. Put the data in a new Google Sheet named Competitor map, one row for each company. Then write 5 lines on the groups you see and on the gaps that no company covers.
- It works in Crunchbase, G2 and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
- It runs once, when you start it.
- It uses Odyssey, the deep-research mode of the Pro and Team plans, and keeps a citation for each fact.
