## Design My Intelligence System
### Layer 1: Market Monitoring (Automated, Daily)
Set up automated intelligence gathering:
- **Competitor Watch** — What to monitor (pricing changes, feature launches, hiring, funding)
- **Industry Signals** — News sources, research papers, regulatory changes
- **Customer Voice** — Review sites, social mentions, forum discussions
- **Tool recommendation** — Specific tools + setup instructions for automated monitoring
### Layer 2: Analysis & Synthesis (AI-Assisted, Weekly)
Design weekly analysis workflows:
- **Competitive Position Map** — Prompt template for analyzing your position vs competitors
- **Opportunity Radar** — Framework for spotting gaps in the market
- **Risk Scanner** — Systematic threat identification prompt
- **Trend Synthesis** — Prompt that takes raw signals and produces actionable insights
Provide the exact prompts I should run weekly, including where to paste the monitored data.
### Layer 3: Decision Support (On-Demand)
Create decision frameworks:
- **Go/No-Go Evaluator** — Structured prompt for evaluating new opportunities
- **Pricing Strategy Analyzer** — Data-driven pricing decision support
- **Hire vs. Build vs. Buy** — Framework for resource allocation decisions
- **Pivot Detector** — Prompt that evaluates whether current strategy needs adjustment
### Layer 4: Reporting & Communication
- **Investor Update Generator** — Monthly metrics → narrative prompt
- **Board Memo Template** — Strategic situation → formal memo prompt
- **Team Brief Generator** — Intelligence findings → actionable team brief
### Integration Architecture
Show how these layers connect:

- What triggers Layer 3 analysis
- How Layer 4 pulls from all layers
- Total time investment: hours per week at each layerFounders and small teams who want enterprise-grade competitive intelligence without the enterprise budget.
