How would you design a system to monitor competitors' technical changes?
TESTS: Ethical competitive intelligence turning technical signals into strategy. OUTLINE: Monitor public bundles and DNS; diff over time; alert on strategic pivots like new checkout APIs. RED FLAG: Intrusive scraping or monitoring without action frameworks.
TESTS: Whether you can architect an ethical competitive intelligence pipeline that turns public technical artifacts into strategy. OUTLINE: Identify passive sources like JavaScript bundles, DNS records, and job postings. Build scheduled diffing to track changes. Tier alerts by impact: P0 for threats to core differentiation like new checkout APIs, P1 for stack shifts, P2 for routine bundle bloat. RED FLAG: Proposing intrusive scraping, violating terms of service, or building dashboards that product teams ignore.
