Pricing Benchmark
pricing_benchmarkRead-onlyIdempotent
Returns a research framework, not the finished analysis: the procedure, output schema and quality rubric for a defensible local pricing comparison within a category — how to normalize across differing service bundles, and what to do when competitors don't publish prices at all. It holds no prices itself.. This tool fetches no data; the calling model runs the procedure with its own web search and produces the result.
Example invocations:
"Benchmark gel manicure pricing across nail salons in Denver, CO"
"Is this brewery's pint pricing in line with the Twin Cities taproom market?"
"Build a pricing comparison for full-service restaurants in Wichita, KS when most don't list prices online"
