Competitive Research Question Generator — illustrative example

INPUT
Decision: build scheduled imports or occasional file comparison first. Research must distinguish those needs; no competitor facts supplied.

RESULT
Research questions:
1. How often do buyers receive updated files?
2. Who reviews changes before data is accepted?
3. What happens when an unattended import fails?
4. Which existing products support review before applying changes?
5. What setup and maintenance do those options require?
Decision use: compare evidence for recurring unattended work against occasional human-reviewed comparisons; do not rank products before collecting it.

REVIEW
Competitive research should answer a decision the team can act on. Limit the questions to evidence that can be collected legitimately.

This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
