What does this skill do?

The Skill Competitive Benchmark Methodology converts a pre-filtered and categorized set of competitors into comparable and defensible scores. It evaluates each competitor across the same nine dimensions using explicit 1-to-5 rubrics, anchoring each score to observable evidence, and generates standardized profile sheets along with a strategic tension map ready to be incorporated into the final report.

Scores by Dimension
It evaluates each competitor across nine dimensions using 1-to-5 rating scales based on observable evidence.
Strategic Tension Map
Score the client's two areas of tension separately, without averaging them, to reveal the white space.
Cross-Calibration
Review all the scores side by side to ensure that a 4 means the same thing for each competitor.
Uniform Profile Forms
Generate a profile for each competitor, including a table of dimensions, justification, source, and strategic analysis.

Usage examples

📊 Full Score
Rate these 5 direct competitors across the 9 dimensions and generate their profile sheets with supporting evidence.
🎯 Voltage Map
Create the memorability × credibility tension map for my competitors and identify who falls into the high/high quadrant.
⚖️ Calibration
Review the scores of all competitors side by side and adjust any outliers before finalizing.
📋 Individual Profile
Collect data from this competitor's website and rate its positioning clarity, brand voice, and visual identity.

Features

Explicit Rubrics 1–5 Each dimension has anchored descriptors that eliminate impression bias and ensure reproducibility.
Nine weighted dimensions All contestants are evaluated based on the same criteria, including clarity, voice, identity, craft, and credibility.
2×2 Tension Map The two poles of the client's strategic tension are scored separately, without averaging, to reveal the white space.
Bias Controls Distinction between asserted and proven evidence, cross-calibration of the dataset, and separation of craft and credibility.
Structured Exit Uniform profile sheets with a table of dimensions, justification, font, and strategic analysis—all ready for the report.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. This skill is based on a set of skills that has already been filtered and categorized (Direct, Adjacent, Aspirational) as a result of a previous analysis.
These are the two axes that define the client’s white space (for example, memorability × credibility). They are scored separately and never averaged: the gap between the poles is the insight.
No. Each score must be backed by evidence, such as a source or screenshot. Without evidence, there is no score.
Nine dimensions rated on a scale of 1 to 5, including positioning clarity, brand voice, visual identity, craftsmanship, credibility, and the two poles of strategic tension.
