Top Rated on Upwork with 100% Job Success Score
DTC and B2B founders bring me in when a launch, pricing, or market entry decision needs validation before the budget is committed. Competitive intelligence and market research engagements delivered across ecommerce, medtech, consumer products, and services. On a recent men's watch DTC engagement: 100+ competitor brands mapped, 7 white space opportunities identified, and the client's pricing, catalog, and positioning reshaped.
Areas where I provide high value:
Competitive intelligence and competitor benchmarking.
Feature, pricing, and messaging matrices that show where each competitor is winning and where it is exposed.
Market validation including: demand evidence, viability assessment, and TAM/SAM/SOM sizing.
Market entry research and feasibility.
Pricing strategy: price point validation, tier design, and willingness to pay signals.
Positioning, differentiation, and messaging.
White space and opportunity mapping.
Go to market sequencing and channel prioritization.
Ideal customer profile and buyer segmentation.
Voice of customer research across Amazon, G2, Capterra, Reddit, and category sources, turned into positioning you can act on
How the work is built:
Recommendations carry the evidence behind them. Each claim is flagged by confidence level, the opposing case is stated next to the main one, and sources are cited, so you can weigh the decision yourself. Research draws on SimilarWeb, SEMrush, Statista, G2, Capterra, Crunchbase, and structured review mining. DTC work adds Amazon, AliExpress, Alibaba, and ad library analysis. B2B work adds BuiltWith and Product Hunt signal tracking. Findings are organized with TAM/SAM/SOM, Porter's Five Forces, positioning matrices, and voice of customer analysis.
Format and pace:
Delivered as a visual deck or report with an executive summary and recommended next actions. Most engagements reach decision ready output within 1 to 2 weeks.
To start:
Send me your product URL and category. I will reply with 2 to 3 observations about your competitive position and an outline of what a full analysis would cover.
