## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs to directly compare two or more franchise brands against each other rather than researching a single franchise in isolation. It is ideal for decision-making scenarios where a prospective franchisee has narrowed their choices and wants a structured, multi-dimensional comparison. Prefer this over single-franchise detail endpoints when the core question is 'which one is better' or 'how do these differ.'

## Known failure modes

- Fewer than 2 franchise concepts provided in 'concepts' — returns validation error
- Unrecognized or misspelled franchise name — may return incomplete or empty comparison data for that brand
- Rate limit or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 status
- Franchise not in database — returns partial results or null fields for unknown brands
- Network timeout on AI synthesis — returns 503 or slow response
