Capability map

Evaluate the monitoring path from source to decision

A useful system makes collection boundaries and review state visible.

Capability

Source coverage

Question to ask

Which feeds, sitemaps, pages, and manual inputs are supported?

Why it matters

Coverage can be audited and gaps remain explicit

Capability

Source health

Question to ask

Can the team distinguish quiet, failing, and misconfigured sources?

Why it matters

Silence is less likely to be mistaken for no activity

Capability

Discovery and deduplication

Question to ask

How are new entries and URLs identified across overlapping inputs?

Why it matters

The queue stays focused on candidate evidence

Capability

Review state

Question to ask

Can people accept, skip, ignore, or resolve duplicates with context?

Why it matters

Collection does not automatically become strategy

Capability

Continuity

Question to ask

Do competitors, sources, evidence, and decisions remain connected?

Why it matters

The workflow survives contributor changes

Capability

Follow-through

Review loop

A weekly competitor publishing review

The cadence can change, but the separation between discovery and judgment should remain clear.

  1. 1

    Check supported sources

    Run the configured public source set and record health outcomes for each competitor.

  2. 2

    Deduplicate candidates

    Resolve repeated entries or URLs that arrived through overlapping sources.

  3. 3

    Review relevance

    Accept useful evidence and skip items that do not affect the team's current questions.

  4. 4

    Carry context forward

    Use accepted findings in content planning, SEO research, growth review, or stakeholder reporting.
