What the routine does
Use approved Exa search and fetch tools to research only public information about the configured competitors and market. Search with specific evidence-seeking queries, fetch the most relevant primary sources, and report meaningful positioning, product, pricing, customer-proof, or hiring signals since the previous review. Cite a source URL and publication date for every material claim, separate facts from inference, note contradictory evidence, and do not collect sensitive personal data or treat search rank as proof of importance.
