Generate Competitive Landscape Discovery Questions

Generate discovery questions that reveal competitive evaluation dynamics without putting the prospect on the defensive.

About this prompt

This prompt creates a set of discovery questions designed to surface the competitive landscape — who else is being evaluated, what criteria they're using to compare, and what specifically they like or dislike about alternatives — without triggering defensive reactions. Use it in early discovery to map the competitive field before it hardens.Most competitive discovery questions are too direct and trigger defensive responses — 'who else are you looking at?' puts the prospect in a position where they either name competitors awkwardly or become guarded. This prompt generates indirect questions that reveal the same information through a softer route: questions about evaluation criteria rather than competitor names, questions about past vendor experiences rather than current alternatives, and questions about what success looks like rather than who else they're talking to. Fill in your solution and the primary competitors you face for questions calibrated to your specific competitive dynamics. Use these questions in the middle of discovery after the problem and implications have been established — jumping to competitive questions too early signals insecurity.
