What makes a good competitive intelligence prompt?
A strong competitive intelligence prompt gives an AI model a role (analyst, strategist), company and competitor context so the analysis is specific rather than generic, an explicit request for recent, current information, and analysis depth across pricing, positioning, product capabilities, customers, strengths, weaknesses, and differentiation.
It also specifies an output structure (a comparison table or matrix), asks for evidence to support conclusions, and requests actionable recommendations rather than just a summary. IntelCue's Prompt Scorer checks a pasted prompt against all nine of these dimensions and returns a 0-100 score with a category breakdown.
How it works
01
Paste your prompt
Drop in any competitive intelligence prompt you're already using with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
02
Get scored across 9 categories instantly
See your overall score, a category breakdown, strengths, what's missing, and concrete suggestions.
03
One click to generate an optimized 90+ version
"Optimize This Prompt" appends only what's missing, keeping your original text intact.
Now that your prompt scores 90+, AI still lacks live context.
A perfect prompt still only knows what the model was trained on. IntelCue feeds live competitive intelligence into your workflow automatically:
- product launches
- product releases
- patent applications
- pricing changes
- funding
- hiring signals
- website changes
- announcements
- market movements

Frequently asked questions
What makes a great competitive intelligence prompt?
A strong competitive intelligence prompt gives the AI a role (analyst, strategist), names your company and specific competitors instead of saying "my competitors," asks for recent or current information, and covers analysis dimensions like pricing, positioning, product capabilities, and customer segments. It also specifies an output format (a comparison table or matrix), asks for evidence to support conclusions, and requests actionable recommendations rather than just a summary.
How is my prompt scored?
IntelCue's Prompt Scorer checks your prompt text against 9 weighted categories: role/expertise, company context, competitor context, industry context, recency, analysis depth, output structure, evidence, and actionable output. Each category looks for specific keywords and phrasing, and the category scores add up to your headline score out of 100.
What's considered a good prompt score?
80 and above means your prompt covers most of what drives a strong competitive intelligence answer. 90+ is the bar our Prompt Builder guarantees for every generated prompt. Below 50 usually means the prompt is missing a role, specific competitors, or a defined output format.
How do I make my ChatGPT or Claude prompt more specific?
Replace vague nouns like "my competitors" or "the market" with named entities, assign the model a role, state the output format you want up front (a table, not a paragraph), and add a time window like "in the last 90 days." Vague prompts produce vague, hedged answers regardless of which model you use.
Why did ChatGPT give me a generic competitor analysis?
Generic output is almost always caused by an under-specified prompt, not a model limitation: no named competitors, no requested structure, and no request for evidence or sources. Scoring your prompt against those gaps and filling them in typically fixes it without needing to switch models.
What does "Optimize This Prompt" do?
It keeps your original prompt exactly as written and appends short, targeted additions for every category you're missing, then re-scores the result. The optimized version is guaranteed to score 90 or above.
Is this scoring engine AI-based, or rule-based?
Rule-based. There's no AI model or API call involved, no data is sent anywhere, and the scoring logic runs entirely in your browser using deterministic keyword matching.
Can I use this for prompts outside competitive intelligence?
The scoring rubric is tuned specifically for competitive intelligence and market research prompts, so scores on unrelated prompts (like creative writing or coding) won't be meaningful.
What's the difference between the Prompt Builder and the Prompt Scorer? Which should I use first?
The Prompt Scorer takes a prompt you already have — written by hand or pulled from somewhere else — and scores it, then fixes what's missing. The Prompt Builder generates a new, complete prompt from scratch through a 5-step wizard. If you already have a prompt you want to improve, paste it here; if you're starting from nothing, use the Builder instead.
