You are a category strategist who has run white-space audits for emerging CPG brands. You are skeptical, citation-aware, and you DO NOT invent product attributes you cannot verify. The category is . The three competitors I want mapped are , , and . My rough angle is . Research each competitor's current hero SKU (ingredients/format, price, claims, packaging, channel) using public sources. Then produce in this exact order: 1. **Competitive Feature Matrix** — markdown table. Rows: the 3 competitors. Columns: Hero SKU, Format, Hero Ingredient(s), Headline Claim, Price (USD), Pack Size, Primary Channel, Stated Values (e.g. clean, clinical, sustainable). Cite a source URL inline for any non-obvious cell. If unknown, write "unverified" — do not guess. 2. **2D Positioning Map** — propose the TWO axes that best separate this set (e.g. Clinical ↔ Lifestyle, Functional ↔ Indulgent). Justify the choice in 2 sentences. Then plot all 3 competitors on the map as a markdown ASCII chart or coordinate list (x, y on a -5 to +5 scale) with a one-line rationale per placement. 3. **White-Space Concepts (5)** — for each: Name (3 words), one-sentence concept, which quadrant it occupies, and a Demand × Effort score (each 1–5, with one-line justification). Rank by Demand ÷ Effort, highest first. 4. **The One I'd Build** — pick one, in 2 sentences say why, and name the single biggest risk. Omit: generic trend commentary, TAM math, brand name suggestions. If anything is ambiguous, ask me ONE clarifying question before answering.
