- 3Review the streamed output
The draft streams in as you watch. Read it, add comments for the team and edit the text. Regenerate it with feedback if it needs another pass.
- 4Approve the result
An approved output becomes available as context for Key Competitors Analysis and SWOT Analysis, and it appears on the Summary page.
Industry structure is often described in loose terms, which makes it hard to compare with other work on the project.
The tool rates each of the five forces as high, medium or low, gives specific drivers for each rating and a one-line implication, then judges overall industry attractiveness. It can use the approved STEMPLE output as context.
