Competitor tracking (your company's)

This is where your company tracks your own competitors — the ones in your market, that threaten your product. For SoftInWay that's Aspen Technology, Concepts NREC, etc. for the AxSTREAM engineering software.

Not to be confused with OtiumWork's roadmap at /roadmap — that's for voting on features you want OtiumWork to build. This page is for your product's competitive landscape.

Three surfaces:

/admin/competitors — source list

A curated list of competitor URLs (product blogs, changelogs, release notes, etc.). Every Monday at 10 UTC, Claude fetches each URL and surfaces feature announcements from the last 14 days.

Editing a competitor: expand the Edit disclosure on any row. Change name, URL, category, notes. Employees, managers, and admins all have edit access.

Deep scan a competitor: expensive one-shot — Claude reads their product pages and enumerates their full feature set, tagged SHIP / CONSIDER / AVOID / NOOP vs your offering. Takes ~30-60 seconds per competitor. Managers + admins only.

/admin/competitors/features — feature board

Every finding across competitors, tagged with: - SHIP — build this, high priority - CONSIDER — debate it - AVOID — intentionally different from them - NOOP — you already do it / not relevant

Inline edit of tag, status (new / backlog / building / shipped / skipped), priority 1-5, and notes. Use the status workflow to push SHIP items through your dev pipeline: new → backlog → building → shipped.

Dev roadmap view: /admin/competitors/features?tag=SHIP&status=backlog gives you the fastest next-steps list.

Voting: Every feature row has a ▲ vote button. Any employee can vote (one per user per feature). Vote counts sort rows within each tag — popular items float up, so the roadmap reflects what the team actually wants to see shipped. Includes features auto-promoted from user feature requests.

/admin/competitors/mine — personal feed

Per-user subscriptions. Click the ☆ on any competitor or feature to star it — now it shows up in your feed.

Two subscription scopes: 1. Personal — just you. Click ☆ on a row. 2. Team (managers + admins only) — expand the "team…" disclosure, pick a department, click Toggle team. Everyone in that department now gets the subscription.

Two subscription targets: 1. Full competitor — any signal from the competitor hits your feed. 2. Specific feature — only that one feature is tracked.

Email digest

Weekly digest runs automatically; recipients are all active admins. Shows SHIP / CONSIDER findings from the last 14 days across all tracked competitors.
