Running a small e-commerce business and realizing I spend way too much time on competitive research instead of focusing on growth activities that actually move the needle. Every week I manually check competitor prices, monitor their product launches, track their marketing campaigns. This takes 8-10 hours that I could be spending on product development, customer acquisition, or operations improvement. The challenge is this market intelligence is genuinely crucial for business decisions like pricing strategy, inventory planning, and marketing positioning. But as a bootstrapped founder I cant justify hiring someone full-time for research, and professional market research services cost more than my monthly revenue. I tried setting up some basic monitoring systems but they require constant maintenance. Websites change their layouts, add new security measures, or restructure their pages. I end up spending more time troubleshooting than the system saves me. How do other solo entrepreneurs handle competitive intelligence efficiently? What systems or processes have you found that actually scale without eating up all your time?
