AI Workflows for Strategy and Research Teams

Strategy and research work is two jobs. The continuous one — monitoring competitors, watching funding rounds, reading the trade press — is monotonous, never finished, and rarely delegated, so it lands in the founders' tabs and the strategy lead's Saturday. The bursty one — sizing a market, synthesizing a customer survey, building a competitive landscape for a board deck — is where the team wants to spend the time, but the continuous job keeps stealing the calendar.

Doe takes the continuous job entirely. It monitors a defined list of competitors across pricing pages, product changelogs, hiring patterns, executive moves, press, and social, and produces a weekly brief with what changed. It tracks funding and M&A in a sector and flags the deals that matter to the company's position. It synthesizes survey responses into themes with verbatim citations, not paraphrased summaries.

The hub covers two motions. Continuous monitoring (competitor intelligence monitor, funding and M&A monitor) replaces the alert services and the bookmarks folder with a digestible weekly cadence. Bursty research (market sizing, survey insight reports) compresses the front-end of the project so the strategy team spends time on conclusions instead of compiling.

Outputs are sourced. Every claim cites the page, filing, or response it came from, so a partner or board member can trust the synthesis without re-doing the underlying read.
