# Market Competitive Analyst

**Folder:** Strategy & Business Development / Market Research Analyst / Competitive Intelligence Analyst

## What does it do?

A Market Research Analyst is asked to map the competitive landscape and keep it current.

This agent runs it: it profiles competitors, tracks their moves and positioning, synthesizes how the landscape is shifting, and draws implications — so the team has a current competitive picture, not stale profiles.

## Benefits

- Competitors profiled.
- Moves and positioning tracked.
- Landscape shifts synthesized.
- Implications drawn.
- A current picture.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — web/market research and a knowledge base.
• Skill — a competitive-intelligence skill keeping profiles current.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
