After adding competitors, Steve automatically researches each one to gather pricing, features, positioning, and market data. Research happens in the background and typically completes within a few minutes.

Understanding Research Status

Each competitor tile shows a research status indicator with three possible states:

  1. Pending (orange dot) - Research is actively running in the background
  2. Partial (blue dot) - Some data collected, shows "X/Y fields" progress
  3. Complete (green dot) - All available intelligence gathered

The status updates automatically as research progresses. No action is required from you.

What Happens Next

Once research completes, you can view the gathered intelligence by clicking on the competitor tile. Steve collects pricing information, feature comparisons, G2 reviews, and market positioning data.
