Comparative Reports go one step beyond Deep — they pull in Pattern Library precedents from comparable SaaS products. Use them when you need precedent for a strategic call.
What a Comparative Report adds
- Everything in Deep, plus:
- Pattern Library precedents — three comparable SaaS products that shipped a similar feature, pricing change, or positioning move.
- Outcome traces — what happened in their public metrics after each move.
