Example study, illustrative data Competitive intelligence

Competitor benchmarking

Five brands, one weighted standard, the same mystery scenario in every outlet. The result is a fair ranking that shows exactly where a client wins, where it loses, and by how many points.

The question

Where do we really stand against the competition, and what closes the gap?

Method

Parallel mystery visits scored on one weighted standard across all brands

Sample

5 brands, 20 outlets, 40 scored visits in two cities

Timeline

10 weeks including the benchmark report

In this example the client is three points from the lead, and the whole gap sits in one section, speed of service. That is a fixable gap with a named owner, not a vague ambition.

Same scenario, same standard, same weights for every brand. Illustrative values.
