Rivalry considers how intensely comparable providers compete for demand. Buyer power tests how much negotiating leverage customers may hold; supplier power considers dependence on essential inputs, technology, distribution or specialist capability. The threat of new entrants asks whether others can enter the market, while the threat of substitutes looks beyond direct competitors to alternative ways customers can meet the same need.

Product clarifies the offer and customer benefit that need to be communicated. Price examines the logic by which value may be charged for, including the trade-off between accessibility, margin and perceived value. Place investigates the routes through which customers discover, evaluate and obtain the offer. Promotion tests which messages and communication channels may make the proposition understandable to the intended audience.

Political factors can shape public-policy uncertainty and market access; economic conditions can affect customer budgets, funding costs or demand. Social trends may change preferences and expectations, while technological developments can alter delivery methods, capability needs or the pace of innovation. Legal considerations include the rules relevant to the confirmed activity and jurisdiction, and environmental factors consider resource expectations, resilience and sustainability pressures.

Strengths and weaknesses are internal: they concern capabilities, resources, processes, relationships or constraints that belong to the verified company. Opportunities and threats are external: they arise from customer needs, market conditions, competition, technology or the wider environment. Keeping that distinction clear prevents a favourable market trend from being mistaken for an internal strength, or a capability gap from being described as an external threat.
