Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: booking calls, providing guides on specific topics (E-2 visa, FDD, costs, red flags), evaluating fit, comparing franchise vs. startup, and validating investments. The detailed descriptions reinforce unique scopes, preventing misselection.
All tools follow a consistent 'gf_' prefix with descriptive snake_case names (e.g., gf_book_clarity_call, gf_evaluate_franchise_fit). This pattern is uniform across all 8 tools, making them predictable and easy to identify.
With 8 tools, the count is well-scoped for the franchise consulting domain. Each tool addresses a key aspect of franchise evaluation and investment, from initial assessment to detailed analysis, without being excessive or insufficient.
The tool set comprehensively covers the franchise consulting lifecycle: initial fit evaluation, cost breakdowns, FDD analysis, red flag identification, investment validation, and decision support (franchise vs. startup). No obvious gaps exist; agents can guide users from start to finish.
