Produces a Black Hat competitive assessment for a US Federal opportunity as a wiki of competitor entities. Use when the user needs competitive analysis, a Black Hat review or session, competitor profiling, an incumbent assessment, or to understand the competitive field for a federal bid. Creates and enriches one competitor entity page per likely bidder (modeling each competitor's probable solution, price posture, and win themes from that competitor's point of view) records the team's exposures…

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

# Analyzing Competitors

Run a Black Hat competitive assessment and record it as a living subgraph of the
pursuit wiki: one entity page per competitor, each modeling how that competitor
will bid. The core technique is perspective — bid the job *as each competitor
would*. The wiki payoff is that the assessment does not sit in one flat
document: each competitor page links to the customer hot buttons it threatens,
the team's exposures it creates, and later the win themes built to counter it.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill during capture, once a pursuit wiki exists (created by
`qualifying-opportunities`), to assess the competitive field. It enriches any
low-confidence `competitors/` stubs the bid-decision left behind, and it feeds
price-to-win and win-strategy work.

## Architecture

This skill is wiki-native. Read [docs/architecture.md](../../docs/architecture.md)
and the [conventions](../../conventions/) first. It **reads** sources and
entities, **maintains** `competitors/` and `risks/` entity pages, and **renders**
the `competitive-assessment.md` view. Relevant domain-wiki pages:
`[[discriminator]]`, `[[best-value-tradeoff]]`, `[[lpta]]`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add danielkinneyspears/govcon-pursuit-brain/analyzing-competitors@sha256:1498d22b120eab1a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260520.3fb59b8, 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.
