A good SWOT analysis stays specific. Strengths and Weaknesses should describe things that are true today and mostly within your control, like skills, resources or reputation. Opportunities and Threats look outward at the environment you operate in, like market trends, competitors or regulation, which you cannot control directly but need to plan around. Comparing the four boxes side by side often reveals strategies, such as using a strength to capture an opportunity, or shoring up a weakness before a threat becomes a problem.
