2. Apply hypothesis tracking best practices to structure a competitive research scan.

3. Map inputs to concrete steps, owners, and decision points.

4. Draft the competitive scan with examples, checklists, or tables where they add clarity.

5. List risks, validation checks, and the next three actions with owners.

Separate verified inputs from assumptions and identify information that should be confirmed before execution.
