Overview

Competitive OSINT Secrets is the book your competitors don't want you to own, your legal department will cautiously approve, and your boss will pretend they already read. It reveals how to ethically spy on market rivals using information that is already public, legal, and often hilariously overlooked. Your competition leaks more strategic secrets through public channels than through any Hollywood style espionage. You just need to know where to look and how to interpret it without feeling like you should wear a trench coat and sunglasses indoors. This book transforms OSINT from a scary acronym into a practical business skill. If you can read an annual report without falling asleep, Google without being distracted by cat videos, and scroll LinkedIn without rage, you can do OSINT. You do not need hacking skills, secret clearances, or a rooftop antenna. You only need curiosity and the willingness to gather insights the right way. Below is a brief introduction to each chapter, so you know exactly how this book saves you years of trial and error. 1.
