4. The Map — Positioning

5. Piqki's White Space

What none of them own:

• True Confidence — Not hype (Glamnetic), not cheerleading (Olive & June), not lifestyle (Chillhouse). The brand that doesn't need to shout.
• Technical Authority — Specific, provable claims. Not "salon quality" (vague), not "best" (unproven), but "tested, here's why."
• Low-Maintenance Luxury — Luxury = ease. The brand for people with standards who don't want to think about it.

6. Words They Use That Piqki Never Should

Glamnetic: "Obsessed", "New!", "Sale", "Glam", "Best seller", "Limited"

Olive & June: "System", "DIY", "Join the millions", "Salon-grade", "Curate", "Refer-A-Bestie"

Chillhouse: "Chill", "NYC", "Self-expression", "Trend leader", "BORN & BRED"

7. Words Piqki Owns

Core vocabulary: "Precision", "Prime, Fit, Set", "Low maintenance", "High standards", "Refined", "Effortless", "It's been handled", "Nothing extra", "Tested"

Key Takeaways

1. Glamnetic wins by volume. Piqki wins by not competing in that arena.
2. Olive & June wins by teaching. Piqki wins by not needing to teach.
3. Chillhouse wins by aspiration. Piqki wins by being technically superior.
4. Piqki's differentiator: Not louder, friendlier, or more aspirational. Just better. The only brand that backs up claims with specific, provable reasoning.
