## Example request

Compare three support tools for our small team. Use our requirements document, check current pricing and integrations, and separate verified facts from assumptions. Prepare a short comparison with source links and questions we should ask vendors.

## Workflow

1. Read the requirements and research the available options.
2. Compare costs, constraints, and supporting evidence.
3. Prepare a decision document with open questions.

## Result

A comparison the team can inspect, discuss, and update.

## Human review

Your team makes the final decision; outreach and purchases wait for review.

## Collaboration

Bring the relevant people into the same research and follow-up task.
