Before you set up your team, see the output. Five models analyze a real problem, disagree on positioning, and the Adjudicator resolves the tension into a decision brief. Then the Master Document generates a formatted deliverable you download as Word.<\/p>\n

    Brand strategy and positioning for [Company Name], a B2B fintech platform that helps CFOs automate financial reporting.<\/p>\n

    Current positioning:<\/strong> “Financial reporting automation” (generic, not differentiated)<\/p>\n

    Target audience:<\/strong> CFOs and Finance Directors at companies with $50M-500M revenue. Pain points: manual Excel work, audit prep stress, board reporting delays.<\/p>\n

    Key competitors:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Vena Solutions (positioned as “Complete Planning”)<\/li>\n
    • Datarails (positioned as “FP&A for Excel lovers”)<\/li>\n
    • Cube (positioned as “Spreadsheet-native FP&A”)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Differentiation hypothesis:<\/strong> We’re the only platform that connects directly to ERPs AND generates board-ready reports automatically.<\/p>\n

      Brand personality:<\/strong> Confident expert, not corporate robot. We understand finance people because we ARE finance people. Direct, no BS, occasionally dry humor.<\/p>\n

      Project goals:<\/strong> Develop defensible positioning, create messaging framework, generate tagline options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      Create project instructions for brand strategy and positioning work.\n\nContext: [Paste your project description]\n\nThe instructions should:\n- Define how to approach positioning analysis\n- Specify frameworks to consider (but not force)\n- Ensure all perspectives are represented (customer, competitor, internal)\n- Enable Debate Mode for stress-testing\n- Require searching project knowledge before making claims about competitors or customers\n\nOutput needs: Positioning statements, messaging frameworks, competitive differentiation, voice guidelines<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
      PROJECT: Brand Strategy - [Company Name]\n\nOBJECTIVE:\nDevelop differentiated brand positioning through rigorous multi-perspective analysis. All positioning must survive adversarial testing.\n\nANALYSIS FRAMEWORK:\n\n1. Market Reality Check\n   - Current category dynamics\n   - Where attention and budget is flowing\n   - Emerging narratives vs. tired ones\n\n2. Competitive Positioning Map\n   - How each competitor positions (their words, not our interpretation)\n   - White space opportunities\n   - Dangerous overlaps to avoid\n\n3. Customer Truth\n   - What they actually say (not what we hope they say)\n   - Underserved needs\n   - Language they use to describe problems\n\n4. Internal Capability Audit\n   - What can we credibly claim?\n   - Proof points available\n   - Claims that require asterisks\n\nBEFORE ANY ANALYSIS:\n- Search project knowledge for competitor positioning data\n- Search project knowledge for customer research\/quotes\n- Search project knowledge for current brand guidelines\n- Do not invent competitor claims or customer quotes\n\nDEBATE MODE REQUIREMENTS:\nWhen testing positioning options:\n- Each AI must argue AGAINST at least one option\n- Surface the strongest objection to each position\n- Identify which objections are fatal vs. manageable\n- Only recommend positions that survive challenge\n\nOUTPUT FORMAT:\n1. Positioning Statement (primary + 2 alternatives)\n2. Messaging Framework (pillars, proof points, headlines)\n3. Competitive Differentiation Matrix\n4. Voice & Tone Guidelines\n5. What We're NOT (important boundaries)\n6. Tagline Options (minimum 5)\n\nNEVER:\n- Recommend positioning without competitive context\n- Use jargon the customer doesn't use\n- Claim differentiation we can't prove\n- Skip the adversarial testing step<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n

              \n
              Analyze our current positioning against competitors and customer needs.\n\nGenerate 3 distinct positioning directions we could take:\n1. One that emphasizes [capability A]\n2. One that emphasizes [capability B]  \n3. One that's a contrarian take on the category\n\nFor each direction, give me:\n- Positioning statement (for, who, that, unlike, because)\n- Key proof points\n- Biggest vulnerability<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

              Based on our stress-tested positioning, create a complete messaging framework:\n\n1. Positioning statement (final)\n2. Three messaging pillars with proof points\n3. Headlines for each pillar (website, ads, sales deck)\n4. Elevator pitch (30 seconds)\n5. Boilerplate (company description)\n6. Tagline options (5 minimum)\n7. Voice guidelines (do this, not that)<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
