Practical guides on competitive intelligence, market mapping, and the tools that help strategy teams move faster without burning $50K on a research firm.
Most teams spend weeks and $25K+ on CI. Here's how to build a complete competitive intelligence brief in 30 minutes using free tools and a structured process — with a shortcut to get it done for $10.
Read Guide →The actual Sawbuck Intelligence output, unedited. Both Edge Reports on Wolfspeed SiC in AI data center infrastructure — terrestrial and orbital — summarized as a product showcase. This is what you get for $10: 10 modules, logic-gated signals, risk/reward matrix, hard-stop identification. No pitch. Just the output.
Read Case Study →The orbital companion to our terrestrial Wolfspeed report. 10 implementation areas analyzing SiC as the enabling material for space-based AI data centers — Google Project Suncatcher, Anthropic/SpaceX orbital compute, radiation survival, inter-satellite optical links, and orbital TCO modeling.
Read Edge Report →A full Sawbuck Intelligence Edge Report on Wolfspeed's 10kV SiC MOSFET platform, Vertiv's $15B backlog, Cerebras' 750MW OpenAI contract, and ten implementation areas for wide-bandgap semiconductor adoption — with logic-gated risk/reward analysis for each.
Read Edge Report →Most CI tool lists are sponsored garbage. This one isn't — but Sawbuck Intelligence still wins the top spot. Honest rankings across price, speed, depth, and accessibility, from $10 one-off reports to $30K enterprise platforms.
Read Briefing →Every pitch deck has a "$50B TAM" slide. Every VC has learned to ignore it. Here is how to calculate total addressable market, SAM, and SOM using bottom-up methodology — the only approach that holds up under scrutiny.
Read Briefing →Most SWOT analyses end up in a drawer. Here is how to write one grounded in real data — specific strengths, honest weaknesses, evidence-backed opportunities, and threats that actually point at decisions.
Read Briefing →A practical, step-by-step guide to competitive analysis in 2026 — define your market, map competitors, identify structural weaknesses, and make your decision with data, not gut feel. Includes a free competitive analysis template.
Read Briefing →Competitive intelligence is how serious operators understand what's actually happening in their market — not press releases, not rumors, but structured analysis of patents, pricing moves, hiring patterns, and technology bets. Here's why it costs so much and how the math is changing.
Read Briefing →Most market entry failures aren't failures of execution — they're failures of intelligence. Before committing capital and team to a new market, here are the five questions that separate disciplined market entry strategy from expensive optimism.
