📡 ONE PAGE PER WEEK, GROUPED BY RIVAL

Forty change alerts. Two of them mattered.

Page-watching tools fire when a pixel moves — a testimonial rotated, a footer year ticked over, a stock photo swapped. You unsubscribed in week three, and now you find out about a competitor's pricing change from a customer on a call.

This routine reads the change and asks whether a human should care. What survives is grouped per company and tagged by kind, so you can brief your team from one page — and a quiet competitor is reported as quiet.

Week of 20 July

Acme moved on price and is hiring enterprise sellers in Berlin. Everyone else held still.
Acme 2 MOVES
PRICING HIGH IMPACT
Free tier capped at 3 seats

Was unlimited. Teams of 4–10 now hit a paywall — that's the segment your self-serve plan targets.

HIRING
Two enterprise AEs, Berlin

First enterprise sales roles they've posted. Reads as a move upmarket, away from your overlap.

Northwind 1 MOVE
POSITIONING
Homepage headline dropped “for teams”

Now leads on compliance and audit. Same product, aimed at a buyer with a budget line.

Vertex QUIET

Nothing material this week. What there was: a rotated testimonial and two blog posts restating positioning they've had since January.

Quiet for 5 weeks. Last real move: April, added SSO.

THE ONE THING THIS TEMPLATE DOES

It knows the difference between a change and a move.

Detecting a diff is trivial — that's why alert tools are noisy. Judging whether a diff means something requires reading it and knowing what you sell. Both sides below are real changes on a competitor's site in the same week. Only one column is in your digest.

Judged, not counted — joris reads what it finds and reports the moves, rather than tallying every diff. If you think something like this is material, say so and the judgement changes.
THE HARDEST THING TO BUILD

“Nothing happened at Vertex this week” is a real finding

Every alert product is built to fire. None of them can tell you a competitor has gone still, because silence isn't an event — and yet five quiet weeks from a rival is one of the most useful things you can know before a board meeting.

Because this template reports on a fixed watchlist on a fixed schedule, absence is visible. A quiet company gets a card that says so, with how long it's been quiet and what its last real move was.

WHAT YOU CAN SAY IN THE MEETING
01
“Acme is moving upmarket — enterprise sellers in Berlin, and they've capped the free tier. Our self-serve segment just became contested.”
02
“Northwind repositioned onto compliance. We'll see them in regulated deals, not in ours.”
03
“Vertex has shipped nothing material since April. I'd stop budgeting attention for them.”

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Before you ask

How is this different from Visualping or a change-detection tool?

Those alert on any pixel change and leave the judgement to you. joris reads the change, keeps only what's material, tells you why it matters, and leads with what to act on — a briefing, not a diff.

Which competitors and signals can it watch?

Name the companies and the signals you care about — pricing, product, hiring, funding, messaging. It reads the live web across their sites, changelogs and news, not one page.

Does it avoid re-flagging the same thing?

Yes — it's a scheduled watch, so each run leads with what's new since the last one and marks unchanged competitors quiet, instead of re-surfacing last week's moves.

Is this a plan for a team?

It fits a solo founder and a team alike. There is one plan, so watching ten companies daily costs what watching three weekly costs — the only thing that scales with heavier watching is the metered web research included in it.

Where does it get the information?

Public sources on the live web: pricing pages, changelogs, careers pages, funding news. Every change it reports links to where it saw it, so you can verify.
