Competitive Pricing Intelligence

Complementary products monitoring different competitive intelligence dimensions. BSD detects buying signals from news — funding rounds, leadership changes, and growth indicators that suggest accounts are entering a buying cycle. CPI monitors competitor pricing — what your competitors are doing with their pricing pages, plans, and positioning. BSD feeds your SDR team with outbound timing signals; CPI feeds your pricing/strategy team with competitive positioning intelligence.

price_increase — competitor raised prices on plans or tiers. price_decrease — competitor lowered prices. new_tier — competitor launched a new pricing tier or plan. discount_campaign — competitor running a time-limited promotional discount. freemium_launch — competitor introduced a free tier where none existed. enterprise_shift — competitor shifting focus to enterprise with custom pricing or "Contact Sales" replacing listed prices.

Each pricing signal gets a change_significance score from 1 to 10. The SIGNIFICANCE_THRESHOLD (default 7) controls which changes trigger Slack alerts. A score of 7+ means the pricing change warrants immediate attention — a 20% price increase, a new free tier, or a major enterprise shift. Scores below 7 are documented in the Notion report but do not generate Slack notifications. Adjust the threshold to match your team's alert tolerance.

The Analyst receives all competitor research profiles in a single aggregate call and must perform cross-competitor pattern recognition — identifying market-wide trends, detecting coordinated moves, assessing pricing position shifts, and generating strategic recommendations. This requires the reasoning depth of Opus 4.6. The Researcher uses Sonnet 4.6 because per-competitor research is a classification task (signal taxonomy + confidence), not a strategy task.

No hard limit. Cost scales linearly with competitor count: 5 competitors ~$0.30/run, 10 competitors ~$0.50/run, 20 competitors ~$0.83/run. The SplitInBatches loop processes one competitor at a time with static data accumulation. At weekly cadence with 20 competitors, annual LLM cost is approximately $43.

When set to true (default), the Researcher also searches for job postings that indicate segment shifts — enterprise sales hires suggest an enterprise_shift signal, pricing analyst roles suggest pricing strategy changes. Set to false if you want to limit research to direct pricing evidence only, which slightly reduces per-competitor research time.

The Notion weekly report is still generated with a "no significant changes" executive summary and per-competitor sections showing stable pricing. Slack alerts are skipped entirely — no empty or "nothing to report" messages. The workflow returns a clean success response with zero significant changes counted.

Yes. The Researcher uses Anthropic web_search tool to investigate each competitor's pricing page, announcements, and campaigns. Research quality depends on competitor website accessibility and Anthropic web_search coverage. Competitors with JavaScript-heavy pricing pages or paywalled content may produce lower-confidence signals.
