Amazon Competitive Intelligence

Win Prime Day
before Prime Day
starts.

ASIN-level competitor monitoring for Amazon brands. Built by a former Amazon EU Senior Brand Specialist — so your team walks into peak events with a written competitive read, not reactive scrambling.

No pitch. Real diagnostic on your specific competitive set.

The Problem

The visibility gap
that costs you
peak events.

  1. 01

    Most Brand Managers running Tier 1 Amazon brands lose share during Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday for the same reason. Not bad pricing strategy. Not weak content. Visibility.

  2. 02

    By the time you've manually pulled competitor data — pricing, promo state, review velocity, content updates, variation shifts — across your top 30 SKUs, your direct competitors have already moved twice. The intelligence is stale before it reaches your team.

  3. 03

    The gap is worst during peak event prep. Competitors stage their moves 14-21 days before the event opens, and most brands don't see those moves until the event is already running.

What's Included

A competitive analyst
on retainer — for less.

Not a dashboard to log into. A small number of ranked moves, each with the dollars at stake and the exact play to run. This is what an $80–120K analyst hire does — delivered as a system.

What actually lands in your inbox

One move. The dollars at stake. The play to run.

Every surfaced move carries a conservative, economics-derived dollar range — never a number we made up — and an immediate, specific action. If we can't stand behind the data, the move never reaches you.

CriticalBuy Box surface

Unauthorized FBM seller took the Buy Box on your flagship SKU at a $5 undercut

Estimated impact
$8,900–16,000/ mo margin at risk
▸ 40 units/day · 32% margin · 40–70% Buy Box exposure while it holds

A third-party FBM seller has displaced you from the Buy Box on your highest-volume listing, undercutting your price. The loss is active now, and it's also bleeding your ad ROAS and routing organic conversion to a seller you don't control.

Action.Confirm the seller isn't authorized and issue a MAP notice today. In parallel, reclaim the box within 24h and open a test-buy to trace the sourcing leak.

Walk in knowing exactly what changed overnight

A 5-minute Daily Morning Brief: what every competitor did in the last 24 hours, ranked, with the one or two things actually worth your attention.

The moment a material move happens, you know

Real-time Slack alerts, tuned with your team in week one so it's signal, never noise.

Your real competitors, mapped for you

Done-for-you ASIN-to-competitor profiling of your top SKUs. The painful manual work, eliminated — and yours to keep regardless of continuation.

Walk into Prime Day with the response already written

A custom pre-event playbook for Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and category events — built around your brand's actual margin tolerances.

Daily eyes on competitor prep before every Tier-1 event

Pre-event intelligence sprints: heightened monitoring 14-21 days out, with a daily brief on how competitors are positioning for the surge.

A board-ready read on where you stand

Quarterly strategic review: a document on competitive position, share movement, and the recommended plays for next quarter.

Your team trained to act, not just read

Two 30-minute implementation calls — live training for your VA, brand manager, or analyst on the alert workflow and response playbook.

A direct line to us, not a ticket queue

Direct Slack access for your first 60 days. Real access, not Intercom-style support.

Fit

Who this works for.

Built specifically for Amazon brands doing $5M-$50M GMV with a Brand Manager or Director of Amazon owning competitive strategy. If your team is feeling the visibility gap on direct competitors — especially during peak events — this is the system. We operate at a different layer than category dashboards: focused on direct ASIN-level competitive dynamics.

Who this is for
  • Amazon brands doing $5M-$50M GMV
  • Brand Manager or Director of Amazon owning competitive strategy
  • Teams feeling the visibility gap on direct competitors
  • Brands that lose share or scramble during peak events
Who this isn't for
  • Sub-$1M sellers — the math doesn't work for either side
  • Category-level monitoring needs (we don't replace Helium 10 or Sellerboard)
  • Teams looking for keyword research or PPC management
  • Brands without a dedicated Amazon owner on the team

About

Why I built this.

I'm Álvaro de la Fuente. I spent 4 years as a Senior Brand Specialist at Amazon EU, managing a top 5 brand in the Print category — including Deal POC responsibility for peak events.

I lived inside the exact problem this system solves: the manual ASIN-level competitive analysis that's impossible to do continuously and impossible to do well during event prep.

Earlier this year I left Amazon to run Cork Fountain full-time, building AI automation systems for B2B operators. The competitive intelligence system is the one I wish I'd had when I was inside.

If you're a Brand Manager managing real revenue exposure on Amazon, you've felt this gap. Let's close it.
