Example prompt: Can you run a competitor comparison for my business, Apex HVAC Services, against the local market? My brief is that we focus on commercial HVAC maintenance in Austin with 24/7 response times, and here's the source text with details about us and two competitors, CoolTech and AirPro Solutions — I need this framed for a sales audience.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have unstructured text describing one or more businesses and need a structured, formatted competitor comparison matrix generated on demand. It is especially useful when you already have raw notes, briefs, or scraped content about competitors and want them synthesized into a side-by-side analysis without manual research. Prefer this over general-purpose LLM calls when you want consistent provenance tracking, explicit evidence gap reporting, and assumption documentation baked into the output format.

## Known failure modes

- Source text too short (below 20 characters) returns a validation error
- Brief too short (below 10 characters) returns a validation error
- Missing competitor data in source text results in a partial matrix with evidence gaps noted and requires_human_review set to true
- Input exceeding max length limits (12,000 chars for brief, 32,000 for source text) will be rejected
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents execution
- Ambiguous or incomplete competitor descriptions lead to assumptions being inserted rather than factual comparisons

## How this service works

Compare supplied competitor information using an explicit matrix and cite which provided source supports each claim. Uses buyer-supplied information only; no external research or outbound actions. Returns a draft for human review.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a structured competitor comparison matrix as a markdown artifact, a plain-language summary, provenance details (source, timestamp, whether external research was performed), a list of assumptions made during analysis, identified evidence gaps where competitor data was missing, a unique request ID, and a flag indicating whether human review is recommended.
