Live prompt
5 fieldsAnalyze the active competitive sales opportunity below to identify specific displacement risks, separate confirmed facts from assumptions, and recommend the single most important competitive gap the AE should address. Context & Inputs: - Prospect Requirements: {{prospect_requirements}} - Current Solution / Incumbent: {{incumbent_details}} - Stated Objections & Barriers: {{switching_barriers}} - Known Competitor Strengths: {{competitor_strengths}} - Deal Stage: Late-Stage Evaluation Strictly adhere to the provided inputs without inventing competitor capabilities or customer preferences. Provide your analysis in the following exact format: 1. DISPLACEMENT RISKS List specific displacement risks with supporting evidence drawn directly from the inputs. 2. FACTS VS. ASSUMPTIONS Clearly demarcate verified facts from unverified assumptions based on the provided data. 3. PRIMARY COMPETITIVE GAP State the single most important competitive gap the AE should address next, explaining why it takes priority over all others.

A real example
Tested on gemini-3.1-flash-lite on 2026-09-06
{
"deal_stage": "Late-Stage Evaluation",
"incumbent_details": "Using LegacyCRM Pro for 5 years; contract renews in Q4; internal users are comfortable but complain about speed.",
"switching_barriers": "CTO is worried about data migration downtime; team is already stretched thin with Q3 product launch.",
"competitor_strengths": "Incumbent offered a 20% discount to stay and already has direct hooks into their custom ERP.",
"prospect_requirements": "Enterprise-grade uptime (99.99%), native Salesforce integration, and SOC2 compliance within 30 days."
}A small ritual that works
How to use it
- 01Input the prospect's requirements, incumbent details, and known switching barriers.
- 02Provide specific competitor strengths and select the current deal stage.
- 03Run the prompt to generate a structured risk analysis and gap prioritization.
- 04Use the 'Primary Competitive Gap' recommendation to refine your next sales call strategy.
Why it works
The prompt enforces a rigorous, evidence-bounded analysis by dividing the evaluation into explicit displacement risks, strict separation of verified facts from unverified assumptions, and a single prioritized competitive gap. This structure forces account executives to ground their strategies entirely in provided inputs rather than relying on unverified feature claims or speculative customer psychology.
Where it fails
INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE
Customisation tips
Ensure that the variables supplied for incumbent details, switching barriers, and prospect requirements contain concrete data points. Vague inputs will limit the ability to separate confirmed facts from assumptions in section 2.
Watch-outs
- Do not invent competitor capabilities or customer preferences that are absent from the prompt inputs.
- Avoid labeling a stated objection as the primary barrier without direct supporting evidence from the context.
- Do not recommend solution features or migration strategies (such as zero-downtime execution) if the AE's capabilities are not verified in the inputs.
