## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to directly compare two specific brands head-to-head for AI visibility in a defined niche, rather than auditing a single brand in isolation. Ideal for competitive intelligence workflows where a marketer wants to understand AI share-of-voice relative to a named rival.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (brand, niche, or competitor_brand) returns a validation error
- Unknown or very niche brand names may return low-confidence or empty comparisons
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents execution
- Rate limiting or server errors return 5xx responses
- Misspelled brand names may not match AI knowledge and return null visibility scores
