Maya ChenPRIMARY
A competitor shipped my roadmap last month and I found out from a customer's cancellation email. I can't keep refreshing five changelogs and Twitter all day.
- Finds out about competitor launches from churned customers, not before
- Spends 4–6 hours a week manually checking changelogs, Product Hunt and X
- Pricing changes by competitors silently make her plans look expensive
- No time to research adjacent markets before building new features
- Fear of building in the wrong direction for months without noticing
Maya starts at 8am with support tickets over kopi, then blocks 9–12 for feature work. Around noon she doom-scrolls X and Product Hunt "for research" and loses 40 minutes. Afternoons alternate between marketing tasks and customer calls across three time zones. At 6pm she checks Stripe, then opens five competitor changelogs in tabs she never finishes reading. Twice a month a customer email mentions a rival feature she did not know existed, and the rest of the evening disappears into panicked gap analysis. She closes the laptop at 11pm wondering what she missed.
- Social — X (build-in-public), LinkedIn lurker
- Communities — Indie Hackers, r/SaaS, MicroConf Connect
- Newsletters — TLDR, Indie Hackers digest, Lenny (free tier)
- Podcasts — My First Million, Startups for the Rest of Us
- Churn email citing a competitor feature she missed
- Competitor raises prices and she learns it a month late
- Planning next quarter roadmap and lacking market data
- Another subscription? — lead with hours saved per week, not features
- Google Alerts is free — show what alerts miss: pricing pages, changelogs, app stores
- I can build this myself — acknowledge it, then price under the cost of one build weekend
- Competitor employees: corporate email + intel-tool stack; exclude from trials
- Pure observers: sign up, never add a competitor; nurture but do not count
- Freebie seekers: want unlimited tracking free; will churn at any price
Every tracked competitor move lands in Monday digest; zero surprises
Caught two pricing changes early; repositioned before customers asked
Roadmap decisions backed by market data; churn from "missing features" halved

Example target: founder of a small B2B SaaS company
Why investigate: this role may own competitive research and approve a small software purchase.
Check before outreach: actual role, company fit, recent need and contact details. A fit score does not prove buying intent.

Illustrative inventory scenario: not a real customer, interview or generated report. The numbers and buying details are assumptions, not measured outcomes.
See a buyer persona template and worked example Describe the inventory coordinator’s workflowWhat these examples show
These are editorial illustrations of a profile’s structure. They show the questions a team could investigate, not verified people, customer outcomes or live generation results.
| Item in a profile | What it can help you decide | What still needs evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Company-fit criteria | Which operating situation to investigate | Whether an actual company meets the criteria |
| Buying roles | Whose experience to understand | Who really approves, influences or blocks the decision |
| User task | What workflow to observe | Where the task fails and what counts as finished |
| A proposed trigger | What to ask about next | Whether the event happened and still matters |
| A target outcome or budget | What to investigate in a conversation | An observed result or confirmed commercial decision |
For the inventory scenario, a company with several warehouses is a starting point for investigation. It does not establish a reconciliation problem, a budget or an intent to buy.
