Competitors

Find who a brand competes with, confirm the list, and hand it over. Names and websites only.

Workflow

Step 1: Check whether the competitors are already known

Read competitors.md in ./supercmo-company, and brand.md for the brand's name, website and what it sells. Where competitors.md already holds this brand's competitors, hand them back and stop — re-searching bills again and tells the user nothing new. Carry on where it's missing, where it's a different brand, or where the user asked to refresh.

Step 2: Settle the brand

You need a brand name and a website. Where you don't already have them, ask the user for whichever is missing. Do not proceed without the website.

Step 3: Learn what the brand sells

Call url_extraction on the website to learn what the brand sells. Skip this where you already know.

Step 4: Find the candidates
