Classify a target company's competitors on two orthogonal axes — the stage ring (concentric circles outward from the target's own stage) and the competitor type (direct / adjacent / indirect / noisewashing). Use whenever writing or reviewing the competitive landscape section of an investment memo; whenever asked "who are the competitors", "who else does this", or "is this company actually competing with X"; whenever a competitor list needs to be de-noised, ranked, or split between exhaustive…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Competitive Analysis Taxonomy Competitive analysis for an investment memo is built on two orthogonal axes: 1. **Stage ring** — concentric circles outward from the target company's own stage of development. The target sits at the center; competitors are placed on the ring that matches *their* stage, not the target's. 2. **Competitor type** — how structurally similar the competitor's offering, value proposition, and customer set are to the target's. Every competitor named in a memo should be tagged on both axes. ## Axis 1 — Stage Rings The target company sits at the center. Competitors are sorted onto rings by their own funding stage / scale, not the target's. A seed-stage target with `incumbents` on its outer ring tells a very different story than a seed-stage target whose entire landscape is other seed-stage companies. | Ring | Definition | |---|---| | `early stage` | Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A | | `early scaleup` | Series B, Series C | | `scaleup` | Series D and beyond, prior to mezzanine | | `mezzanine` | Pre-IPO rounds where valuation exceeds ~$2–3B | | `incumbents` | Public companies, or massive PE-owned rollups | ### How to use the rings …

How to install
mdr add lossless-group/lossless-agent-skills/competitive-analysis@sha256:2e185aa013f0a241The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.98fea04, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
