What CCP-001 to CCP-020 cover
The competitive set for a specific opportunity is usually narrower, and different, from the market-wide list. These cards work from delivery evidence rather than marketing material.
Competitors (CCP-001 to CCP-010) discovers the competitor universe, segments by role in the value chain, verifies local presence, compares product and solution portfolios, analyses project references, reads positioning and messaging, forms capability and gap hypotheses, reads pricing and commercial signals, maps the service, warranty and delivery footprint, and traces each competitor’s account and partner network.
Customers (CCP-011 to CCP-015) discovers the customer universe, defines the ideal customer profile, detects buying signals, maps the buying committee and decision functions, and qualifies and prioritises accounts.
Partners (CCP-016 to CCP-018) builds the partner and distributor universe, runs capability and due diligence, and tests channel conflict and strategic fit. Output (CCP-019 to CCP-020) produces an account and partner engagement brief, and an ecosystem opportunity and competitive action memo.
Questions about this toolkit
How do I verify a competitor’s claimed track record?
Through delivery evidence rather than pitch material — commissioned project records, disclosed contract awards and filings. CCP-003 verifies local presence and CCP-005 analyses project references. The same reasoning is set out in our article on verifying an EPCC bidder’s track record.
Is this useful if I already know the market?
That is when it is most useful. CCP-001 and CCP-002 exist to work out who the competitive set actually is for one specific opportunity, which is rarely the market-wide list you already carry in your head.
Does it work on Chinese suppliers and buyers?
Yes. Every card is supplied in English and Simplified Chinese, so Chinese-language filings, tender notices and company disclosures can be worked through in their original language rather than through a translation layer.
Does it cover partners and distributors, or only competitors?
Both, and they are handled separately. CCP-016 builds the partner and distributor universe, CCP-017 runs capability and due diligence on each candidate, and CCP-018 tests channel conflict and strategic fit before you commit. A partner who already serves a competitor is a different risk from one who cannot deliver, and the cards keep those two questions apart.
