Why Build CI in Public?

The best competitive intelligence practice is one you actually maintain. Going public creates accountability, attracts insights from other founders, and builds your reputation as someone who takes strategy seriously.

Accountability

When you share your CI Score publicly, you're 3x more likely to maintain your monitoring cadence. Your followers become your accountability partners.

Community Intel

Other founders in your space will share competitor moves they've spotted. Build in public and you get free CI from your network.

Personal Brand

Founders who share their competitive analysis build authority in their niche. It's the ultimate content strategy: useful, unique, and unignorable.

Pattern Recognition

Seeing dozens of founders share their CI practices reveals market-wide patterns you'd never spot alone. Collective intelligence beats individual analysis.

Our CI Score: 72/100 Coverage (22), Frequency (20), Depth (15), Distribution (10), Action (5). Strong overall but need to improve action — we collect great intel but don't always act on it fast enough. spyglassci.com/competitive-edge
@spyglassci
