You are handed a coverage area and expected to know it by Friday. WorldbyFlow does the first pass: every named player placed, positions and leverage stated, and a source you can open behind each line, so you spend the week on judgment rather than collection.

An analyst's work is mostly the map before the argument. New market, new list of names, a director who wants a point of view by the end of the week. The scans here are built for that week-one task and the follow-ups that come out of it: who matters, why one of them just did something strange, and what the people inside the market are actually saying.
The week-one map. Every named actor in a category placed with position and leverage, in one run, so the first meeting on a new coverage area starts from a sourced picture rather than a blank page.
When the question is about a market's cast rather than its products: who holds what leverage on this issue, drawn from documented positions rather than assumed alignments.
A sizing read that names every figure's issuer, states what each number counts, and shows divergent estimates as a spread. The sourcing answer when a director asks how big it is.
A player just did something that does not fit the story you have been telling. This reads the motive from the record and grades each explanation, so the update you send has a basis.
What the people inside a market are saying, on the record, quoted with attribution. The color a landscape needs before it goes to anyone senior.
The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.
Grade the map against your own mental model. Where it disagrees with you, open the source. That is the fastest way to learn what the tool is good at.
Regulation, a supply constraint, a standards fight. The landscape shows the products; this shows the people with leverage over them.
A page of attributed quotes from operators, analysts and buyers gives your first point of view a texture a spreadsheet cannot.
From any Competitive Weaknesses read, "Watch this rival" adds the company to your business map. A Business Brief then checks every name on it, moved or quiet, on the schedule you set, so the map you drew in week one keeps itself current.
Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.
Copy the result as Markdown into your working doc, or share the page with your director so they can open the sources themselves.
Ask a follow-up question of any result, or run a Red Team pass that tries to break its own conclusions before someone else does. How the grades work →
The AI-attributed layoff figure is a measure of what companies choose to disclose, not an independently audited count of jobs automation replaced, because Challenger's reason field depends entirely on employer language with no external verification step.
The fastest way to judge the result is to pick a subject you know cold and read it against what you know. If a colleague sent you here with an invitation, the credits land on your account when you sign up.
