Use when tracking competitors on a cadence: material shifts only, cited evidence, battle-card update flags, runs unattended.”.

What competitive-intel-watch does

Monitor a competitive landscape for **material shifts** since the last run. Diff the world against the previous snapshot; report only what changed, with evidence; flag which downstream artifacts need updating. This is the skill that turns competitive research from a document into a cadence — the weekly SIGINT sweep and monthly OSINT digest from the fusion cadence live here. A watch reports *change*, not *state*: regenerating the same report weekly is theater, and "no material shifts this cycle" is a valid, useful result.
