# KnitKnot for competitive intelligence

## Find out why AI keeps picking the other company.

KnitKnot records head-to-head recommendations and opens the claims behind them. See which capabilities AI credits to your rivals and which sources appear in those answers.

## The useful detail is in the reason AI gives.

A rival can win one buyer comparison and lose another. Inspect the question, buyer requirements, and stated rationale before deciding whether you have a messaging gap, a disputed claim, or a product limitation.

## Illustrative example

This fictional scenario explains the workflow; it is not a customer result.

- Buyer requirement: A team needs a deployment it can run in its own cloud.
- Recommendation: AI picks a rival, citing its deployment documentation.
- Claim to check: The answer says GoodCo only offers shared hosting.
- Next move: Check GoodCo’s supported deployment options before deciding how to respond.

## Compare on buyer questions

Run a stable question set across the competitors and AI engines in scope. Keep wins, losses, and unresolved outcomes visible.

## Separate your products

For companies with several products, use product-specific questions, competitor sets, and results. Inspect each product’s position without averaging away differences between categories.

## Inspect the stated rationale

Open the claims and cited pages behind a result. Compare outcomes by capability and buyer requirement, then check how AI describes each vendor’s strengths.

## Choose the response

Correct an unsupported claim, strengthen proof for an existing capability, or bring an accurate product gap to the team that owns it.

## What to measure

Track recommendation outcomes and recurring claims in later runs. These are observed AI comparisons, not measured sales win rates or evidence of a competitor’s intent.
