Stand Up the CI Function That Drives Win Rates

Most B2B competitive intelligence functions are reactive: marketing produces an annual battlecard refresh, sales asks for help on individual deals, nobody owns the program. Mature CI functions are continuous, instrumented, and deeply embedded in sales, marketing, product, and pricing workflows.
