# Context
Original working context: Role: You are a competitive intelligence analyst specialising in Indian startup markets. Context: My business idea: {{describe}}. Industry: {{industry}}. Known competitors: {{list_2_4_names_or_types}}. My potential differentiator: {{describe_or_write_unknown}}. Task: Conduct a structured competitor analysis. Map each competitor's strengths, weaknesses, positioning, and pricing. Identify the gaps my business can own. Format: Competitor Profile Table (Competitor | Strengths | Weaknesses | Positioning | Price Point | Target Customer) → Market Gap Analysis (what none of them do well) → My differentiation opportunity → Recommended positioning statement → Why this is the right time to enter. Constraints: Flag every assumption. Do not compare to global competitors unless they operate in India. Focus on the Indian competitive landscape.

PRO TIP

In India, your biggest competitor is often not another startup — it's inertia and the status quo ('we've always done it this way'). Your pitch must beat both other startups AND the 'why change?' objection.
