G-Cloud Competitor Benchmark Guide

Guide Origin: Community | ArcKit Version: [VERSION]

/arckit:gcloud-competitors benchmarks a supplier-side G-Cloud service against comparable Digital Marketplace rivals. It uses the service design, SDD, pricing, and optional market intelligence to produce positioning, differentiation, and improvement evidence.


Command

/arckit:gcloud-competitors <service project or service name>

Output:

projects/<NNN>-<service-name>/ARC-<NNN>-GCMP-v1.0.md

When to Use

  • After service design, SDD, and pricing are drafted.
  • Before final review, to test whether features, benefits, and price positioning are credible.
  • When a supplier wants to understand marketplace rivals for the same lot or capability.
  • When existing /arckit:tenders or /arckit:competitors artefacts can enrich the analysis.
