Eryk Orłowski fe37e5426a feat(skills): add brand-discovery and competitive benchmarking pipeline
Adds four community skills covering brand identity discovery and a
three-skill competitive benchmarking pipeline.

**brand-discovery** — Adaptive multi-session brand identity interview
spanning 8 modules (purpose, positioning, audience, personality, voice,
narrative, founder-brand tension, synthesis). Uses laddering, 5 Whys,
and projective techniques. State persisted to disk via state.json so
sessions resume across conversations without losing elicited knowledge.
Frameworks: Sinek, Dunford, Baker, Enns, Kapferer, Aaker, Neumeier,
Mark & Pearson, Lencioni. Includes 8 module output templates in
references/.

**competitive-platform-analysis** — Scopes and tiers a competitor set
before benchmarking begins. Categorizes candidates along 8 generic
creative-industry axes (positioning stance, specialization, size/model,
engagement format, distinctiveness posture, evidence model, brand
strength, market/reach) into Direct / Adjacent / Aspirational tiers.
Includes a pre-filter scoring matrix. First step in the pipeline.

**benchmark-methodology** — Scores each competitor across 9 weighted
dimensions (positioning 18%, brand voice 15%, visual craft 15%, offer
packaging 12%, evidence 12%, enterprise-readiness 10%, thought
leadership 8%, pricing 5%, client's strategic tension 5%) with explicit
1–5 rubrics and bias controls. Produces one profile card per competitor.

**competitive-report-structure** — Assembles scored cards into a
decision-grade report: executive summary, landscape map, competitor
tiers, heatmap matrix, deep dives, white-space and threats, strategic
recommendations, sources appendix.

brand-discovery complements brand-voice (ECC): brand-voice extracts a
style profile from existing source material; brand-discovery elicits
identity from scratch through structured interviews when no prior
material exists.

A competitive set scoped without the client's positioning brief is
noise, not intelligence — each skill enforces this by requiring the
brief before proceeding. The 9-dimension scoring framework deliberately
reports the client's strategic tension as two separate poles (never
averaged) because the gap between them is the strategic finding.

# Module 70 — Founder Brand vs Organisation Brand
> **Frameworks:** Enns *Win Without Pitching* · Personal brand vs institutional
> brand spectrum
>
> **Goal:** Map the relationship between the founder's personal reputation and the
> organisation's brand. Clarify how much equity each carries, what the healthy
> boundary is, and how to sequence personal vs organisation brand investment.
> Unresolved founder-brand tension is a common scaling bottleneck.

## Raw
<!-- Verbatim quotes. -->
### Is the founder personally known in the market? How?
### Do clients buy the founder or the organisation? (ask for evidence, not instinct)
### What happens to the brand if the founder steps back or is unavailable?
### What does the founder want for their personal brand in 35 years?
### What does the organisation's brand need to be able to do independently?
### Where has the founder-brand been an asset? Where has it been a constraint?
---
## Synthesis
### Current state: where on the spectrum?
```
[Founder IS the brand] ←————————→ [Organisation brand stands alone]
1 2 3 4 5
```
Current position: ___ Target position (3-year): ___
### What the founder brand should own (and keeps owning)
### What the organisation brand needs to own (independently of the founder)
### Transition plan sketch (if moving from founder-centric toward institutional)
### Risk if nothing changes
