THE PLATFORM
One Platform. Multiple Intelligence Layers.
EDGE brings five intelligence disciplines together — so you see the full picture, not fragments.
Tab 1 — Competitive Intelligence
Deep 360° competitor profiles: positioning, pricing, tech stack, financials, SWOT, leadership, hiring, and risk signals — auto-researched and always current.
Competitive Intelligence
Updated continuously with automated AI research synthesis.
Executive Benefit
Board-ready summaries and prioritized decision queues.
RATES & FEES
Know where you stand on every rate, every day.
The only competitive intelligence platform with a built-in rate and fee board for Canadian credit unions.
Daily Rate Board
Upload competitor rate sheets and instantly compare mortgages, GICs, savings, lending, and credit products across every institution you track.
Rate Change Detection
Automatically detect every rate move — up, down, new, or removed — with the exact delta, detected date, and source evidence.
Fee Schedule Comparison
Compare fee schedules side by side across competitors to find gaps and opportunities in your pricing.
Rate / Offer Leaders
See who leads on HISA rates, GIC rates, largest cash bonuses, and more — updated with every data pull.
Admin-Managed Visibility
Control which rate categories appear on public rate cards, configure category sort order, and manage what members vs. staff can see.
Never get surprised by a stealth competitor rate cut
Stay proactive with automated alerts the moment regional rivals alter prime lending spreads or promotional GIC tiers.
CAMPAIGN WATCH
See what your competitors are advertising — in real time.
Don't just track competitor websites. Track their ad campaigns.
Live Campaign Ingestion
EDGE continuously ingests competitor social media ad campaigns — headlines, copy, creative images, landing pages, and call-to-actions — as they launch.
Share of Voice
See which competitors are advertising most aggressively, which product categories they're pushing, and how much of the conversation they own.
Campaign Intensity Scoring
Every competitor is scored on campaign intensity — how active, how frequent, how broad — so you know who's making a push and who's gone quiet.
Creative Archive
Every ad creative is archived before it disappears, so you have a permanent library of competitor messaging — even after campaigns end.
Campaign Assessment
Upload your own ad creative and EDGE's AI will critique it against the competitive landscape — strengths, weaknesses, positioning, and recommended next steps.
Battle-test your copy before spending ad dollars
Benchmark your messaging against real live competitive ads to ensure your credit union's value proposition stands out with distinct differentiation.
