Competitor watch

A weekly read on a named list of competitors, restricted to what changed on their own public pages.

The prompt
Check the competitors below for changes since this task last ran. Read
only, and change nothing anywhere. Use their own pages first: pricing,
product, changelog, careers, status.

Competitors and pages:
  NAME, URLS.
  NAME, URLS.

For each one that changed, one entry.

What changed, in one sentence, with the before and the after where the
page shows both.
Where you saw it, as a link.
When, as the page states it. If the page carries no date, write NO DATE
ON PAGE rather than guessing from the wording.
Confidence. HIGH if you read it on their own page. MEDIUM if a
publication reported it and named a source. LOW if it is commentary.
Anything below HIGH says who reported it.

Then two lists that matter as much as the first.

No change. Competitors whose pages you read and found unchanged.
Could not check. Pages that failed, timed out, need a login or hid
behind a consent wall. Never let a page you could not read fall into No
change.

Rules. No analysis of what it means for us. No recommendation. Pricing
carries its currency, unit and plan exactly as written.

How to use it

This one is built to be scheduled. Scheduled tasks are time-based: they do not fire from an incoming email or a changed file.

Use when you want a steady signal on a handful of competitors without a daily feed of commentary.

Vibe prepares and drafts. You verify and decide. Ask for a citation on every finding: a confident answer is not evidence.

What you get back

One line per competitor with what changed and the link, a No change list, and a Could not check list.

What it writes

Nothing. This one only answers.
