Competitive intelligence (CI) ensures your roadmap strikes the perfect balance between innovation and differentiation.

- Identifying Market Gaps: CI highlights unmet customer needs that competitors have overlooked.
- Avoiding Redundancy: Understanding competitors' offerings helps avoid duplicating features.
- Prioritizing Wisely: CI helps product teams prioritize based on competitive positioning.
