Competitors · Capability comparison · Component

The comparison

How each rival stands on each dimension, including where they lead — because a comparison with no losses is not believed by anyone who has to sell against it.

The deliverable

What it is

The internal comparison and the published one are different documents with different purposes, and conflating them produces a document that is useless internally and unconvincing externally.

The entries where a rival leads are the valuable ones. They tell the organisation where it is exposed and tell sales what to expect.
