mint-brand System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "mint-brand" project. This project aims to develop an application for competitor analysis, providing insights and analytics to help the brand stay competitive in the market.

System Overview

The "mint-brand" application will serve as a comprehensive tool for analyzing competitors in the market. It will gather data from various sources, process it, and present actionable insights to the users. The application will be designed to be user-friendly, efficient, and scalable to accommodate future growth and additional features.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to input competitor names to initiate an analysis.
• As a User, I should be able to view a dashboard with key metrics and insights about competitors.
• As a User, I should be able to receive alerts about significant changes in competitor strategies.
• As a User, I should be able to download reports summarizing competitor analysis.
• As a User, I should be able to customize the parameters for competitor analysis.

User Personas

• User: A business analyst or marketing professional who uses the application to gain insights into competitors' strategies and market positions.

Core User Flows

1. User logs into the application -> inputs competitor names -> system gathers data -> dashboard displays insights.
2. User sets up alert preferences -> system monitors competitors -> user receives alerts on significant changes.
3. User customizes analysis parameters -> system processes data -> user downloads a detailed report.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the "mint-brand" application will feature an interactive 3D globe that users can rotate and zoom into. Each country on the globe will represent a different market, and clicking on a country will display competitor data specific to that region. The globe will be built using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for a seamless and engaging user experience. This interactive element will not only be visually striking but will also provide an intuitive way for users to explore data.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, where layered depth is achieved through scroll-triggered animations. As users scroll, different layers of data and visuals will move at varying speeds, creating a dynamic and engaging storytelling experience. Internal pages will adopt a "static" model to ensure clarity and focus on data presentation.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should be highly responsive and work seamlessly across devices and screen sizes.
• It should ensure data security and privacy, complying with relevant regulations.
• The system should be scalable to handle increasing amounts of data and users.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB
• AI Models: Not specified
• AI Tools: Not specified
• Local Orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will primarily target users in India, considering local market dynamics and user preferences.
• The system will integrate with existing data sources and APIs for competitor data.
• The application must be designed to accommodate future feature expansions without significant rework.

Glossary

• Competitor Analysis: The process of evaluating competitors to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies.
• Dashboard: A user interface that provides a visual overview of key metrics and insights.
• Parallax: An interaction model where different layers move at varying speeds to create a sense of depth.
