### 1. Identify the competitive set
If given a company: WebSearch for "[company] competitors" and "[company] vs"
If given a category: WebSearch for "best [category] 2025" and "[category] comparison"

Build a list of 4-6 key competitors.

For each competitor, WebFetch their homepage and key pages:
- **Tagline/headline**: How do they position themselves?
- **Target audience**: Who are they selling to?
