3h • General Discussion 💬

Strategy meeting in 3 hours. CEO drops competitor's 80-page annual report. "What does this mean for us?"

Built competitive intelligence workflow. Complete analysis with recommendations before the meeting started.

THE COMPETITIVE INTEL PROBLEM:

Annual report arrives. Team scrambles. Someone skims for financials. Someone looks for products. Nobody synthesizes.

4-6 hours for proper competitive analysis. Strategy team doesn't have that time.

THE DISCOVERY:

Dual document extraction. First call pulls structured data. Second call generates strategic recommendations.

Same pattern as contract review. But optimized for competitive intelligence.

THE WORKFLOW:

Google Drive trigger watches competitor folder → Download document → Document extraction pulls financials, products, initiatives, partnerships → Merge combines extraction with binary → Second extraction generates strategic insights and recommendations → Code compiles intelligence report → Sheets logs to competitor database → Slack alerts strategy team with full analysis.

8 nodes. Strategic intelligence automated.

THE DUAL EXTRACTION PATTERN:

First extraction: Revenue, growth rate, market share, new products, strategic initiatives with timelines, partnerships, acquisitions, threats, opportunities.

Second extraction: "Analyze for strategic impact. Top 3 moves to watch. Business implications. Recommended responses."

THE TRANSFORMATION:

Before: 4-6 hours reading competitor reports. Key insights missed. Recommendations require separate analysis.

After: 90 seconds for complete analysis. Threats identified. Recommendations included.

THE NUMBERS:

80-page report analyzed

47 strategic initiatives identified

8 threats flagged

5 opportunities highlighted

4 hours → 90 seconds

UNEXPECTED BENEFIT:

CEO gets briefing with AI recommendations before coffee finishes brewing. Strategy meetings start with actionable intelligence.
