Which statement best describes early Competitor Analysis efforts?

Early Competitor Analysis focuses on forecasting what solutions competitors will offer, based on their understanding of the customer and the opportunity. By thinking about how competitors interpret the customer’s needs and the context of the opportunity, you can anticipate their proposed approach, pricing, and differentiators. This helps you shape your own proposal and win strategy to set your offering apart. Other options shift to different activities. Defining customer requirements is about capturing what the customer needs and how the project will be delivered, not about predicting competitors’ offers. Pricing analysis here would be about benchmarking or setting price rather than anticipating a competitor’s actual solution. Identifying market gaps is about opportunities in the market itself, not about what competitors will propose in response to the customer’s needs.
