TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct stage of the research pipeline, from idea understanding through competitor discovery, profiling, comparison, gap analysis, scoring, and final report generation. The only potential overlap is run_competitive_research, but that is clearly positioned as an orchestrator of the full pipeline, not a duplicate.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (understand_idea, discover_competitors, extract_competitor_profiles, compare_competitors, generate_report, run_competitive_research). Two tools (market_gap_analysis, innovation_scoring) deviate with a noun_noun style, creating a minor inconsistency but no real confusion.
Eight tools map cleanly onto the seven-step research pipeline, with the orchestrating run_competitive_research earning its place for automation. This is a well-scoped count for a specialized research assistant.
The full lifecycle of competitive research is covered: idea analysis, competitor discovery, profiling, comparison, gap identification, scoring, and report generation. No obvious missing stage, and the pipeline even includes an automated end-to-end runner, making the surface self-sufficient.
