Competitive Intelligence Agent

Scout keeps a scored watchlist of your competitors, looks for new entrants and public signals every week, and raises an alert when a competitor crosses a threshold you set.

Handles

  • Every competitor scored on one fixed rubric
  • The whole market re-scored every Monday
  • New entrants found before they show up in deals
  • Alerts when a competitor crosses a threshold you set

Where it breaks

Competitive analysis is a slide deck that goes stale in a month.

New players launch every week. Someone builds a comparison once, opinions replace evidence, and by the next sales call it is out of date.

The fix

Scout re-scores the market every week on a fixed rubric, so changes show up as movement you can see rather than opinion.

Questions

Before you ask.

How does Scout score competitors?

On a fixed 13-criteria rubric - 7 moat axes and 6 market criteria - combined into one threat index, so every competitor is measured the same way every week.

How often does the watchlist update?

Every Monday: new entrants are scouted, public signals scanned, and the whole list re-scored.

Can we set our own alerts?

Yes. You set the thresholds that matter to you, and Scout raises an alert the week a competitor crosses one.

Is Scout a real agent?

Yes. Scout runs competitive intelligence for Trinity at Ability AI today, on Trinity, alongside the rest of our agents. We build the same agent for your company, on your stack and your infrastructure.
