On first run, you'll be asked where to save research:
Where should I save competitive research files?
Recommendation: Create a directory OUTSIDE your company codebase, like:
- ~/Documents/pm-work/competitive-research
- ~/pm-research
- ~/competitive-intel
This keeps sensitive competitive analysis separate from your company's git repos.
This is your FIRST analysis - thorough and time-consuming. Next time you update this research? Minutes, not hours. That's how systems compound.
| Analysis Round | Time | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| First | 1 hour | Thorough, structured research |
| Second | 15 min | Update existing files |
| Third | 15 min | Compare to previous versions |
