Sample brief — real ShipDiff output

This is an unedited brief generated by the real ShipDiff pipeline for our own internal tracking (we dogfood it). The only thing that changes for a paying customer is which competitors get tracked and what product context gets fed to the analysis — the pipeline itself is identical.

Product context given to the analysis for this sample:
"We build an AI-assisted developer-productivity SaaS. We care about competitors' shipping velocity, pricing moves, and AI feature launches."
Yours would describe your own product instead — that's what makes the "why this matters" line specific to you.
