COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCE REGISTER — COMPLETED EXAMPLE
Collected: September 7, 2026
Plan-placement and authentication distinctions rechecked September 8, 2026; research.md records the recheck. Original capture dates below are unchanged.
Public observations are real. Team roles, decision, and follow-up dates are illustrative.
Capture paths below refer to Unkover's internal research files, which are not included in this download. The source URLs show current pages; save your own dated captures when adapting the register.
Question: Can a buyer requiring SAML use Linear Business, or must they evaluate Enterprise?
Decision owner: Product marketing. Deadline: before the next external comparison update.
Enough evidence when: the public plan placement and implementation documentation agree on the SAML requirement.

L-01
URL: https://linear.app/pricing
Publisher: Linear
Observed: Enterprise custom pricing includes SAML and SCIM.
Scope: Public plan packaging, not an enterprise quote or product test.
Capture: 2026-09-07; local evidence/linear-pricing.txt
Change status: Baseline only; prior capture unavailable.
Confidence: Verified observation for the published offer only.
Action: If SAML is required, seek Enterprise terms rather than use Business seat pricing.
Owner: PMM. Next check: 2026-09-14.

L-02
URL: https://linear.app/docs/saml-and-access-control
Publisher: Linear
Observed: SAML available on Enterprise. Directly invited guests and IdP-provisioned guests have different authentication requirements.
Scope: Documentation corroboration; not an independent publisher or hands-on validation.
Capture: 2026-09-07; local evidence/linear-docs.txt
Change status: Baseline only.
Confidence: Verified documentation statement.
Action: Preserve the guest access qualification; sales engineer to check comparison wording.
Owner: Sales engineer. Next check: 2026-09-14.

L-03
URL: https://linear.app/security
Publisher: Linear
Observed: Google SSO, SAML, and SCIM are separate security capabilities.
Scope: Broad security overview; use pricing/docs for plan eligibility.
Capture: 2026-09-07; local evidence/linear-security.txt
Change status: Baseline only.
Confidence: Verified statement; does not prove SAML is in every paid plan.
Action: Replace ambiguous comparison label 'SSO' with the specific requirement.
Owner: PMM. Next check: 2026-09-14.

UNRESOLVED
Negotiated Enterprise price; actual buyer authentication requirement; historical plan movement.
No evidence collected for these. Do not estimate or imply an observed change.

EXPIRY AND REUSE
Treat the next-check date as a review-by date. If overdue, pause reuse until reverified; retain the dated observation. Notify downstream readers when a claim is withdrawn or contradicted.
