Competitive Analysis & Roadmap - Summary

Date: 2025-01-24 Prepared for: Puaros Guardian Documents Created:

  1. ROADMAP_NEW.md - Updated roadmap with reprioritized features
  2. COMPARISON.md - Comprehensive competitor comparison
  3. docs/v0.6.0-CONFIGURATION-SPEC.md - Configuration feature specification

🎯 Executive Summary

Guardian has 5 unique features that no competitor offers, positioning it as the only tool built for AI-assisted DDD/Clean Architecture development. However, to achieve enterprise adoption, we need to first match competitors' baseline features (configuration, visualization, CI/CD, metrics).

Current Position (v0.5.1)

Strengths:

  • ✅ Hardcode detection with AI suggestions (UNIQUE)
  • ✅ Framework leak detection (UNIQUE)
  • ✅ Entity exposure detection (UNIQUE)
  • ✅ Repository pattern validation (UNIQUE)
  • ✅ DDD-specific naming conventions (UNIQUE)

Gaps:

  • ❌ No configuration file support
  • ❌ No visualization/graphs
  • ❌ No ready-to-use CI/CD templates
  • ❌ No metrics/quality score
  • ❌ No auto-fix capabilities

📊 Competitive Landscape

Main Competitors

Tool Strength Weakness Market Position
SonarQube Multi-language + Security Complex setup, expensive Enterprise leader
dependency-cruiser Best visualization No hardcode/DDD Dependency specialist
ArchUnit Java architecture Java-only Java ecosystem
FTA Fast metrics (Rust) No architecture checks Metrics tool
ESLint Huge ecosystem No architecture Code quality standard

Guardian's Unique Position

"The AI-First Architecture Guardian for TypeScript teams practicing DDD/Clean Architecture"

Market Gap Filled:

  • No tool optimizes for AI-assisted coding workflow
  • No tool deeply understands DDD patterns (except ArchUnit for Java)
  • No tool combines hardcode detection + architecture enforcement

🚀 Strategic Roadmap

Phase 1: Market Parity (v0.6-v0.10) - Q1-Q2 2026

Goal: Match competitors' baseline features

Version Feature Why Critical Competitor
v0.6.0 Configuration & Presets All competitors have this ESLint, SonarQube
v0.7.0 Visualization dependency-cruiser's main advantage dependency-cruiser
v0.8.0 CI/CD Integration Kit Enterprise requirement SonarQube
v0.9.0 Auto-Fix (UNIQUE!) Game-changer, no one has this None
v0.10.0 Metrics & Quality Score Enterprise adoption SonarQube

After v0.10.0: Guardian competes with SonarQube/dependency-cruiser on features

Phase 2: DDD Specialization (v0.11-v0.32) - Q3-Q4 2026

Goal: Deepen DDD/Clean Architecture expertise

30+ DDD pattern detectors:

  • Aggregate boundaries
  • Anemic domain model
  • Domain events
  • Value Object immutability
  • CQRS validation
  • Saga pattern
  • Anti-Corruption Layer
  • Ubiquitous Language
  • And 22+ more...

After Phase 2: Guardian = THE tool for DDD/Clean Architecture

Phase 3: Enterprise Ecosystem (v1.0+) - Q4 2026+

Goal: Full enterprise platform

  • VS Code extension
  • JetBrains plugin
  • Web dashboard
  • Team analytics
  • Multi-language support (Python, C#, Java)

🔥 Critical Changes to Current Roadmap

Old Roadmap Issues

❌ v0.6.0 was "Aggregate Boundaries" → Too early for DDD-specific features ❌ v0.12.0 was "Configuration" → Way too late! Critical feature postponed ❌ Missing: Visualization, CI/CD, Auto-fix, Metrics ❌ Too many consecutive DDD features → Need market parity first

New Roadmap Priorities

✅ v0.6.0 = Configuration (MOVED UP) → Critical for adoption ✅ v0.7.0 = Visualization (NEW) → Compete with dependency-cruiser ✅ v0.8.0 = CI/CD Kit (NEW) → Enterprise requirement ✅ v0.9.0 = Auto-Fix (NEW, UNIQUE!) → Game-changing differentiator ✅ v0.10.0 = Metrics (NEW) → Compete with SonarQube ✅ v0.11+ = DDD Features → After market parity

  • ✅ IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains)
  • ✅ Web dashboard
  • ✅ Team analytics

Market Position:

  • #1 tool for TypeScript DDD/Clean Architecture
  • Top 3 in static analysis for TypeScript
  • Known in enterprise as "the AI code reviewer"

🎯 Positioning Strategy

Target Segments

  1. Primary: TypeScript developers using AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, ChatGPT, Cline)
  2. Secondary: Teams implementing DDD/Clean Architecture
  3. Tertiary: Startups/scale-ups needing fast quality enforcement

Messaging

Tagline: "The AI-First Architecture Guardian"

Key Messages:

  • "Catches the #1 AI mistake: hardcoded values everywhere"
  • "Enforces Clean Architecture that AI often ignores"
  • "Closes the AI feedback loop for cleaner code"
  • "The only tool with auto-fix for architecture" (v0.9+)

Differentiation

Guardian ≠ SonarQube: We're specialized for TypeScript DDD, not multi-language security Guardian ≠ dependency-cruiser: We detect patterns, not just dependencies Guardian ≠ ESLint: We enforce architecture, not syntax

Guardian = ESLint for architecture + AI code reviewer
