Claude Opus 4.6 just became the most dangerous competitive intelligence tool on Earth.
I reverse-engineered my competitor's entire strategy in minutes.
Found their pricing, positioning, weaknesses, and future roadmap.
Here's the prompt (use responsibly):
---
"Conduct deep competitive intelligence on [COMPETITOR NAME]:
