3. Add the columns: "Competitor Name," "Product/Service," "Strengths," "Weaknesses," "Pricing," and "Website/Link" to define your analysis framework.
4. List key competitors and fill in their strengths, weaknesses, and pricing for each row.
5. Highlight strengths in green and weaknesses in red to improve visual clarity across the table.
