frequently asked questions

what is a swot analysis?

a structured framework that maps strengths (internal positives), weaknesses (internal negatives), opportunities (external positives), and threats (external negatives). it's used for strategy, product decisions, and competitive reviews.

how many points should each quadrant have?

aim for 3–5 bullet points per quadrant. more than 7 usually means you haven't prioritized. the goal is actionable insight, not an exhaustive list.

what's the difference between weaknesses and threats?

weaknesses are internal — things within your control (slow product velocity, weak seo). threats are external — things outside your control (a competitor launching, market contraction).

how often should i run a swot?

quarterly for fast-moving markets; annually for stable ones. also run one when entering a new market, launching a product, or responding to a major competitor move.
