Competitive Matrix

Researches a market or technology space and renders an interactive, color-coded comparison matrix in the browser by combining web research with a zero-dependency HTML table.

Workflow

1. Identify the space — confirm the market, product category, or technology being compared; ask for clarification if ambiguous. See RESEARCH.md.
2. List the players — enumerate 5-10 key competitors or options to include; no more, no fewer. See RESEARCH.md.
3. Choose evaluation dimensions — select 5-8 columns relevant to this specific domain; avoid generic filler columns. See RESEARCH.md.
4. Research each player — run at least one web search per player to verify current status and ratings; never rely solely on training data. See RESEARCH.md.
5. Assign ratings — score every cell using the four-point scale (checkcheck/check/tilde/x) with evidence from step 4. See RESEARCH.md.
6. Write the HTML file — write a complete self-contained file to /tmp/matrix.html using the template with color-coded cells, sort, and filter. See TEMPLATE.md.
7. Render in browser — follow _shared/chrome-devtools-render.md to open /tmp/matrix.html, wait for render, and screenshot. wait_for the first competitor name.
8. Deliver as HTML. Upload the existing /tmp/matrix.html to S3 following the shared HTML delivery pattern in _shared/html-delivery.md (skip markdown-to-HTML conversion since HTML already exists). Report name: competitive-matrix. TLDR includes space name, player count, and standout winner(s).
9. Deliver summary — after the screenshot, output 3-5 bullet points naming the key differentiators and the standout winner(s) per use case.
