Competitive Battlecard

Use when this procedure is the primary professional method needed for the assignment.

Procedure

1. Confirm the decision or outcome this work must support, its scope, owner, constraints, and definition of success.
2. Establish the evidence baseline using competitor product/pricing/docs, win/loss notes, customer objections, and internal capability proof. Do not fill material gaps with assumptions when they can change the result.
3. Use current primary evidence, compare equivalent workflows, separate fact from inference, prepare counter-positioning without disparagement, and date the evidence.
4. Exercise realistic edge, failure, transition, or exception cases that could invalidate the result; record unresolved uncertainty explicitly.
5. Validate the output against the original outcome and any neighboring professional contracts so this skill does not silently absorb another specialist's authority.
6. Record the resulting artifact, measurements, decisions, provenance, and handoff information needed for another owner to reproduce or continue the work.

Quality gate

Claims are current, comparable, sourced, and useful in a live customer decision.
