SOURCES TO WATCH
- Pricing & packaging pages
- Product changelog / release notes
- Careers / job postings (hiring velocity)
- Investor relations & earnings materials
- SEC EDGAR (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) for public peers
- Trust, security, and compliance pages
WEEKLY CI RITUAL
- Review diffs on top 5 competitor pages
- Scan new SEC filings for material events
- Update battlecard with sourced changes only
- Flag pricing or packaging shifts to sales
- Log signals in a single team workspace
QUALITY BAR
- Every insight links to a primary source
- Separate confirmed changes from rumors
- Track baseline snapshots (hash or archive)
- Assign owner per competitor watch
- Automate discovery + diff where possible
