I think about this a lot when writing for early-stage founders. Most people default to comparison pages that sound like they’re begging to be taken seriously. (We’re faster! Nicer! More helpful!) But the real magic happens when you step out of the ring completely.

Fantastic idea, Tom! Thanks for sharing. I will try to implement this in my own business. I create hand-drawn illustrations. I am thinking to compare our hand-drawn art to images generated by Midjourney somehow.

What do you think about this way of comparing to a big name but in different niche? For example this "Like Duolingo but for design".
