A worked example

Try this supplied scenario before adapting the workflow to live work.

Input

Week: October 12–16. Competitor A release note: CSV export added October 14. Competitor B pricing page: no dated change notice. Previous brief: A had no CSV export.

Expected result

Change: A added CSV export on October 14 (release note). B: no supported change established from the supplied pricing page. Implication: reassess the export gap for customers who need CSV. Watch next week: verify A’s plan availability. Distribution: draft pending review.

What to check: Every change has evidence and a date; B is unknown rather than unchanged; facts and implications remain separate.

Limits: Web research and final review are manual unless you build and test a separate integration. API access uses each provider’s own developer console and billing; consumer subscriptions do not establish API access.

Worked example included. This is an assistant-guided workflow; no unattended integration or vendor benchmark is claimed.

Run this workflow

Your checklist is saved in this browser. Each step names a deliverable you can inspect.

Choose the competitors, week and decisions the brief should inform; write those at the top of the evidence sheet. Collect current first-party announcement, pricing and documentation URLs. Record retrieval dates and exact plan scope. Have the assistant extract only supported changes into a fact table with a source for every row. Compare with the previous brief and label implications as interpretation. Preserve unknowns and contradictory evidence. Review the cited pages, then save the brief and watch list in your existing workspace; distribute only after approval.
