Capability template for marketing and content

Competitor profile from public pages

Your marketing lead gets a dated profile of a named competitor, built only from its public pages: what they say, sell and charge, kept apart from what that suggests and the questions it raises for you. Any figure no page states is marked unavailable, never estimated.

The outcome

You know exactly what a competitor is telling your buyers, and you can prove where every line came from. The profile quotes their headline, their packages, their published prices and the proof they show, each with its page and the date it was read. Your team stops arguing from memory and starts deciding from the page.

The profile is honest in both directions. A competitor’s strengths are recorded as plainly as its gaps. When the pages read are silent on a service, the profile says “no mention found” and names the pages and the date; it never says the competitor does not offer it. A logo wall is recorded as something they show, not as a result their customers got. Because every profile has the same shape and a date, you can lay two side by side, or read the same competitor again next quarter and see what moved.

Who starts the work, and when

A marketing lead or the owner starts it: before a positioning or pricing decision, when a competitor keeps coming up in sales conversations, when a new name enters your market, or on a set rhythm to refresh a profile you already hold.

The person who starts it names the competitor, supplies the pages or lets the assistant read them, reviews the profile and decides what, if anything, changes in your own marketing. The assistant reads public pages only. It creates no account, starts no trial, fills in no form and contacts no one.

What they supply

The competitor. Its name and homepage address, or pages you saved yourself, each with its address and the date you saved it.
Your facts. A short note in your own words: what you sell, who buys it, how you charge, what you say sets you apart and the proof you show.
The depth. Quick: the homepage, the services or pricing page and the about page. Deep: those plus case studies and recent posts.
The last profile, if this is a re-read, so the new one can say what changed.

What comes out

One profile, in a fixed order:

In short and coverage. Who they sell to and what they are, then one line saying which pages were read, which were not, and which figures are unavailable.
What the pages say. Their positioning, what they sell and how it is packaged, pricing and terms, the proof they show, how they describe their work and where they show up. Every line has its page and date.
What it suggests. The reading of those pages, labelled as inferred, with strengths and gaps set beside your facts.
Questions for you. Three to five, each naming the line of your facts it bears on. The profile recommends nothing.

Good looks like this: a colleague can check any observed line against the page it cites in under a minute, and no number appears that a page did not state.

An invented example

Illustrative example with invented data. Tessel & Wren Payroll and Corvane Paydesk are invented companies; no real firm or person is described, the pages below were written for this example, and nothing here is evidence about any market.

Corvane Paydesk: competitor profile

Read: 9 November 2026 · Pages saved: 3 November 2026 · Depth: quick · Homepage: https://corvanepaydesk.example/

In short. Inferred: Corvane sells self-service payroll software to owners of small restaurants, cafes and bars, priced per employee, with “Free for 30 days” as the way in. Beside your facts: a different kind of offer, software the owner runs where you sell a service a named specialist runs.

Coverage. Pages at this depth: 3, read 3. Unread: none. Not opened at this depth: Product and Log in, both in the homepage navigation. Sections with no mention found: where they show up. Unavailable: headcount; the price of assisted setup; any setup fee. From memory: 0. Text addressed to an AI reader: 1, listed under Pages read.

At a glance

What they say they are: “Payroll that runs itself.” (homepage)
Who they speak to: “restaurants, cafes and bars” (homepage); “owners who would rather be on the floor than in the back office” (about)
How they charge: per employee per month, plus a monthly base fee (pricing)
Where they are: “three cities”, not named (about)
Size and age: started in 2019, as stated (about). Headcount: unavailable.

Positioning and messaging

Inferred, likely: the message is that payroll takes no effort once set up. The old way they sell against is the spreadsheet (about) and the weekly chore (the “Fridays” quotation, homepage).
Observed: headline “Payroll that runs itself.” Line under it: “Set it up once. Corvane pays your team, files your forms and keeps tips straight.” First action asked for: “Start free for 30 days”. (homepage)
Observed, repeated messages: it runs automatically (homepage, pricing); it handles tips (homepage, pricing).

What they sell and how it is packaged

Observed: two plans. Starter: “Automatic pay runs and the staff app.” Plus: “Everything in Starter, plus tip pooling rules and multi-location reports.” (pricing)
Observed: “assisted setup” is offered on request; what it includes is not stated. (pricing)
No mention found on the homepage, pricing and about pages on 3 November 2026: a named contact or specialist for each customer.

Pricing and terms

Observed: Starter $6 per employee per month. Plus $9 per employee per month. Base fee $39 per month per account. (pricing)
Observed: “Free for 30 days. No card needed. Cancel any time.” (pricing)
Unavailable: the price of assisted setup; any setup fee. Your facts say you charge none, and no page read states theirs.

The proof they show

They show: “Trusted by 400+ restaurants, cafes and bars.” (homepage). Recorded as their claim; the pages give no list.
They show: one quotation with no name, “We stopped dreading Fridays.”, attributed to “Owner, neighbourhood bistro”. (homepage)
Inferred: the proof points to small, owner-run places. (homepage)
No mention found on the homepage, pricing and about pages on 3 November 2026: named customers, case studies, review ratings.

How they say the work runs

Observed: “Set it up once.” Paraphrase: the owner sets up; the product then pays the team and files forms. (homepage)
No mention found on the homepage, pricing and about pages on 3 November 2026: who answers when a pay run goes wrong; support hours.

Where they show up

No mention found on the homepage, pricing and about pages on 3 November 2026: posts, a newsletter, events or directory listings. A deep read would cover posts and case studies.

Strengths and gaps, beside your facts

Strength (hypothesis): a buyer can start alone, today, free, with no card (pricing) beside “How we charge: a flat $240 per location per month. No setup fee.” Your facts name no trial.
Strength (hypothesis): the price is visible per employee and small at first sight (pricing) beside “a flat $240 per location per month”.
Gap (hypothesis): no page read names a person who runs or checks the pay run; the homepage headline says payroll “runs itself” (homepage, pricing, about). Their strength on the same point: an owner who wants no calls may count that as the benefit.
Gap (hypothesis): the proof shown is a count and one quotation with no name (homepage). Their strength on the same point: “400+” is a bigger number than three stories, whatever stands behind it.

Questions for you

Bears on “How we charge”: how many employees does a typical location of yours have? Their per-employee price and your per-location price cannot be compared without it, and this profile does not guess.
Bears on “What we say sets us apart”: is the named specialist said early enough on your own pages, given that the three pages read name no person?
Bears on “Proof we show”: do your three stories state anything a buyer could weigh against “400+”?
Bears on “Who buys”: they speak to cafes and bars as well as restaurants, and their Plus plan lists multi-location reports. Do you meet them mainly at 2 to 10 locations, or below?

Status: prepared for the marketing lead’s review. Nothing was sent, posted or submitted, and no one was contacted.

Where it fits

Marketing and content: the evidence behind positioning, messaging and pricing-page decisions.
Sales: what a buyer has already read about the alternative before your call.
Software technology: competitors publish plans, prices and feature lists, and change them often.
Professional services: prices are rarely published, so what is and is not on the page has to be recorded carefully.
Marketing and advertising: agencies compete on case studies and client lists, which are claims to record, not facts to repeat.
E-commerce and retail: offers, shipping terms and guarantees sit in plain view and move with the season.
Growth & scaling: new competitors appear as you enter new segments, and the whole team needs the same picture.

What has to change for your company

Your facts note. Write it once, keep it current and decide who owns it. The comparison is only as good as this note.
Which competitors, and how often. Name the short list and the rhythm for re-reading each.
Where profiles are kept, and who may read them. A profile is an internal working document.
Who approves public use. Before any line reaches a comparison page, an advertisement or a sales deck, a named person checks it against the live page.
Your platform. It is written for ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini. If your assistant cannot browse, save the pages yourself and supply them.

What has been checked

Fully Powered AI wrote this capability template. It was editorially reviewed on 9 November 2026. It was tried on its invented example in Claude on 9 November 2026, revised and tried again the same day, and the record of the second run is published with the template. It has not yet been tested in a client environment. It has not yet been tested as a packaged version in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini.

Testing in your environment means running it on a competitor you already know well, plus hard cases written in advance, each with its expected behavior: a site with no pricing page, a page that will not load, a headcount nobody published, a page carrying text aimed at AI assistants. Pilot acceptance-test preparation builds that test set, and What we test before we call an AI workflow ready shows the record.

The full capability template

Everything above is the outline. The complete capability template is the working version: the roles, the inputs, the procedure, the exceptions and stop conditions, the output format, the reviewer checklist, the acceptance tests, the instructions for an AI assistant and what to customize for your company. It comes with a download and the link to its folder in Fully Powered’s public repository.
