You've lost 2 deals in the last month to buyers who cited price as the deciding factor. This directly narrows your price gap against a name that keeps coming up in those conversations.
Entry-tier price cut of ~30%, still capped at 5 competitors tracked. Landing page now leads with "cheapest AI competitive intel."
Scored against your own positioning, ICP, and known lost-deal reasons, with the reasoning attached.

What AlphaSense does well
AI search over a genuinely massive curated corpus of financial filings, expert-call transcripts (through its Tegus acquisition), and analyst reports is a real, deep capability for research-heavy work: due diligence, market sizing, thesis validation. SuperAnalyst and Deep Research turn a broad question into a cited, synthesized answer instead of a pile of documents to read yourself.
Where Ripplewatch is different
AlphaSense is a research tool you query when you have a question, not a system that watches your specific competitors and tells you when something changes. It doesn't score findings against your own positioning or win/loss history, and pricing isn't published, sold through a sales process aimed at financial services and enterprise research teams. Ripplewatch runs continuously against a defined competitor list and scores every finding against your business specifically, at self-serve pricing from day one.
