The template breaks out all five forces - industry rivalry, new entrants, buyer power, supplier power, and substitutes - with paint-specific prompts and scoring guidance to produce a single, comparable competitiveness score. Use the force-by-force sections to justify pricing, margin targets, or protective tactics.
