Competitive Notes

# Competitive Notes: What you know about a topic from your interactions

Research what I know about $ARGUMENTS from my own interactions.

Follow these steps:

1. **Semantic search.** Use `hidn_semantic_search` with the topic to find matches across all entity types — profiles, orgs, activities, docs, logs.

2. **Search interaction history.** Use `hidn_search_logs` with the topic as a keyword to find daily log entries where this was discussed or noted.

3. **Search shared docs.** Use `hidn_list_shared_docs` and `hidn_get_shared_doc_id` to check if any documents reference the topic.

4. **Search work items.** Use `hidn_search_workitems` to find any tasks or projects related to the topic.

5. **Identify sources.** For each mention found, note:
   - Who said it (which contact, in which interaction)
   - When they said it (date)
   - What specifically was said (quote or paraphrase from activity notes)
   - The context (was it positive, negative, a comparison, a warning?)

6. **Look for patterns.** Across all sources:
   - Are multiple contacts saying the same thing?
   - Is sentiment shifting over time?
   - Are there contradictions between sources?
   - When was the most recent mention?

## Output format

**Intelligence Brief: [topic]**

**What your network says**
For each source:
- **[Name]** ([date], [interaction type]): "[what they said or key takeaway]"
- ...

**Patterns**
- [Theme 1]: [X] contacts mentioned this — [summary]
- [Theme 2]: ...

**Sentiment**
- Overall: [positive / negative / mixed / neutral]
- Trend: [shifting toward X / stable / too few data points]

**Knowledge gaps**
- Last mention: [date] — [flag if stale]
- Missing perspectives: [e.g., "No input from anyone who's actually used it"]

**Suggested actions**
- [Ask specific contact about specific angle]
- [Research externally to fill gap]
