Two-by-two competitive positioning map
You get a structured 2x2 map: two axes with your exact labels, your product and every competitor you list placed by numeric coordinate with a short written rationale for each placement, and your product the sole occupant of the top-right quadrant as plotted, ready to drop into a deck or website.
You receive: A JSON object {xAxis:{lowLabel, highLabel}, yAxis:{lowLabel, highLabel}, points:[{name, isSelf, x, y, rationale}]} where coordinates are on a fixed 0-1 scale, exactly one point is the self, and every point carries a written placement rationale.

Example
A sample of what this play produces. Your result is generated for your inputs.
X Axis
- Low Label
- Advice you still execute yourself
- High Label
- The work gets done for you
Y Axis
- Low Label
- Starts from zero every session
- High Label
- Compounds what it knows about you
Points
| Name | Is Self | X | Y | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STUD.com | true | 0.82 | 0.86 | A living system for the venture: pick a play from a catalog of 265 ready-made plays, the short intake fills itself from workspace facts, and an AI agent runs it to a finished deliverable. A fact stated once flows into every run, and every result leaves the system knowing more than it did before, so both axes climb with use. |
| General-purpose AI chat assistants | false | 0.38 | 0.2 | The blank prompt box drafts real knowledge work, but getting it out is manual craft: you have to know what to ask, phrase it well, and carry the output somewhere by hand before it goes stale. Each session starts by re-explaining the business, so nothing compounds. |
| Freelance marketplaces | false | 0.68 | 0.15 | Finished work does arrive, a contracted person delivers it, which places this option far along the done-for-you axis. Every new brief still starts by re-explaining the business from scratch, and the deliverable lands as a static file, so what one engagement learned never reaches the next. |
| Static documentation tools | false | 0.1 | 0.42 | Documentation holds what the business knows, so a little carries between sessions, but the pages do no work on their own: a person still has to read them, act on them, and keep them current, and unmaintained pages drift stale. |

Scope of the check
What's verified: STUD verifies the map's structure against your frozen inputs: the JSON parses; both axes carry exactly the labels you set; exactly one point is marked as yours and carries your product's name; every competitor you list appears exactly once; every coordinate is a number between 0 and 1; every point includes a written placement rationale of at least 8 words; the quadrant threshold is a number between 0.05 and 0.95 (default 0.6); your point sits at or above the threshold on both axes; and no competitor does. STUD does NOT verify placement accuracy: coordinates and rationales are the operator's judgment, so a passing map proves sole occupancy of the top-right quadrant as submitted, not that the market actually looks that way.
