1. Describe the task

Competitor information is scattered across press releases, deal databases, patent offices and trade media. Pulling it together for one competitor takes days, and the profile is outdated by the time strategy discusses it.

Hand the collection to Prism. Name the competitor, the business area and a time window. Prism gathers recent moves from the signals pool, patents and the web, sorts them by type, states the apparent strategy behind them, and shows where they overlap with your own projects.

2. Give context

Required inputs

  • The competitor's name, a business area and a time window
  • Your own project elements in the workspace, so Prism can find overlaps.
