Competitor Landscape
competitor_landscapeRead-onlyIdempotent
Returns a research framework, not the finished analysis: the procedure, output schema and quality rubric for mapping the local competitive set for a category + metro — true competitors vs. adjacent players, a positioning matrix, and saturation signals.. This tool fetches no data; the calling model runs the procedure with its own web search and produces the result.
Example invocations:
"Map the competitive landscape for coffee shops in Saint Paul, MN"
"How saturated is the nail salon market in Aurora, CO?"
"Who are the real competitors to a new brewery taproom opening in the North Loop, Minneapolis?"
