Competitor Positioning Map Generator — illustrative example INPUT Use supplied 1–5 scores: setup effort, where 1 is low; customization, where 5 is high. Product A: 1,2. Product B: 4,5. Product C: setup unknown, customization 3. RESULT Map axes: horizontal = setup effort; vertical = customization. A: (1,2), low setup effort and limited customization. B: (4,5), higher setup effort and more customization. C: not fully placed; customization 3, setup evidence missing. Interpretation: A and B offer different trade-offs. C needs setup evidence before a comparable position can be assigned. REVIEW Choose comparison axes that reflect a buying decision. Explain each placement with supplied evidence rather than scoring unfamiliar competitors from intuition. This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
