Sysrad Reports — Public-source competitive intelligence for SaaS teams

01 / 06 The bifurcation

⚠ The problem

You're either spending thousands on Forrester subscriptions, or you're stuck with a $5 SWOT diagram.

Most market research gigs deliver vague essays. Most analyst reports cost $3,500+. Founders, marketers, and product teams need something in between: a structured intelligence artifact that informs real decisions without the enterprise bill.

→ What you get

An editorial-quality competitor analysis modeled on Forrester Wave — at indie/SaaS budgets.

Strategic map. Weighted scorecard. Four-section vendor profiles. Pricing teardown. Customer sentiment synthesis. Strategic opportunities. Recommendations specific to your brief. Methodology disclosed. From $29 to $149 launch pricing.

02 / 06 What's in every report

Six artifacts.
One PDF.

Every report includes the structured components below. The depth and length scale with the tier you choose.

01

Strategic map

Quadrant placing each competitor on Developer Adoption Velocity × Product Maturity, or axes adapted to your specific market dynamics. Halos indicate customer feedback level.

02

Weighted scorecard

Up to 15 dimensions across Current Offering and Strategy, weighted by buyer relevance. Arithmetic invariant validated. Vendors compared on a 1-to-5 scale relative to peers.

03

Vendor profiles

Four canonical sections per competitor: Strategy, Capabilities, Customer Feedback, and a one-paragraph verdict. Modeled on Forrester Wave structure.

04

Pricing teardown

Tier-by-tier comparison. Free tier policies. Entry pricing. Scale curves. Dedicated infrastructure costs. Hidden fees. Where the market gaps are.

05

Strategic opportunities

Three to five specific market gaps a new entrant could exploit, derived from cross-vendor analysis. Each with feasibility and incumbent risk noted.

06

Tailored recommendations

Five to seven recommendations specific to your brief — pricing strategy, positioning angle, feature priority, GTM approach. Not a recycled template.

05 / 06 What we do, what we don't

Public-source.
Honestly.

Sysrad Reports uses a structured research process across publicly accessible sources. We disclose our methodology in every report, including what we didn't do. No vendor briefings. No paid databases. No fake confidence.

What we analyze

Vendor websites, pricing pages, changelogs, status pages
Independent review platforms — G2, Capterra, TrustRadius
Independent benchmark publications and pricing teardowns
Developer community signals — GitHub, npm, Hacker News, Reddit
Founder and executive content — LinkedIn, podcasts, interviews
Public funding records and corporate filings via Crunchbase
Direct API documentation for SDK breadth and language coverage

What we don't do

Customer reference interviews — sentiment is from public reviews
Vendor briefings — this is independent third-party analysis
Access to paid databases — Statista, IBISWorld, Forrester subscriptions
Independent deliverability or load testing
Compliance audits — we report SOC 2, ISO claims as-published
Proprietary scoring methodology — scoring is qualitative + LLM-assisted
Industries outside SaaS, B2B, dev tools, AI/ML, marketplaces

Every claim in every report carries a confidence level. High = multiple converging sources. Medium = one or two corroborating sources, or a recent change with limited follow-up. Low = inferred from indirect signals. You always know what's well-supported and what's interpretation.

06 / 06 Who orders this

Built for the
decisions you're about to make.

The report informs five common decision points. If your situation isn't here, message before ordering.

01

SaaS founders, pre-launch

You're three months from launch and you need to know exactly where you'll fit, what to charge, and what to build first. Standard tier covers it.

02

B2B marketers, repositioning

Your messaging blurred. Competitor moves shifted the category. You need a current map of who's saying what and where the unclaimed positioning is.

03

Product teams, roadmap planning

You need a feature gap analysis grounded in actual product depth comparisons, not in what your CEO read on Twitter. Premium tier gives you battlecards.

04

Founders, fundraising

You need a competitor slide that doesn't embarrass you in due diligence. Standard tier produces investor-ready positioning and TAM context.

05

Consultants & agencies

You need a credible research base for a client engagement. Sysrad delivers the structured artifact; you keep the strategy work and the client relationship.

06

Operators, mid-quarter

Something shifted in the market — a competitor raised, dropped pricing, launched something. You need a refresh in 4 days. Standard or Premium with refresh credit.

FAQ Common objections, answered

Questions
before you order.

Q1Is this an AI-generated report?

We use software-assisted research workflows (browser automation, structured extraction, LLM-assisted summarization) to process many sources quickly. Every report is then structured, validated against schema constraints, fact-checked against sources, and formatted manually. The output is faster than a human-only workflow but not a "ChatGPT essay" — claims are sourced, scorecards are arithmetic-checked, and the tone matches Forrester Wave reports rather than generic AI prose.

Q2Do you include access to paid databases?

No. This service uses publicly available sources only — vendor websites, review platforms, ProductHunt, Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub, public Crunchbase profiles, news coverage. If you need paid database citations (Statista, IBISWorld, Forrester subscriptions), provide credentials with your order or hire a specialist with subscription access.

Q3What categories do you cover?

B2B SaaS, developer tools, AI/ML products, marketplaces, and tech-enabled services. We don't take orders for restaurants, real estate, retail, or local services — wrong tool for the job. Message before ordering if you're not sure.

Q4What if I already know my competitors?

Even better. Send your competitor list with the order, and we skip discovery and go directly to deep analysis. We can also identify additional direct competitors, adjacent threats, and indirect substitutes you may have missed.

Q5How is this different from a $5 Fiverr SWOT?

A SWOT is one diagram. This is a 12 to 22 page structured intelligence artifact with a strategic map, weighted scorecard, four-section vendor profiles, pricing teardown, customer sentiment synthesis, methodology disclosure, and tailored recommendations. Different category. The structural reference is Forrester Wave / Gartner Magic Quadrant — public-source version.

Q6Will this be investor-ready?

For investor decks, choose Standard or Premium. Both include positioning, strategic opportunities, and recommendations framed for a strategic audience. Premium adds per-vendor battlecards useful in due diligence Q&A.

Q7What if I need revisions?

Each tier includes 1 revision (Basic) or 2 revisions (Standard / Premium). Revisions cover scope additions clarified after delivery, factual corrections, and reframing of recommendations. Adding new competitors after delivery is a paid extra (+$25 per competitor).
