After all competitor-agents return, produce side-by-side matrix
Required structure:
## Competitive Landscape Matrix
| Dimension | <User's Co> | Competitor A | Competitor B | Competitor C |
|---------------|-------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
| <dimension 1> | ... | ... [Conf] | ... [Est] | ... [Inf] |
...
Cells include the confidence tag ([Confirmed], [Estimated], [Inferred])
Highlight cells where one competitor dominates or where a clear gap exists
## Gaps & Opportunities — dimensions where the user's product is clearly behind OR where an unmet niche is visible
## Positioning Angle — recommended narrative or wedge based on the matrix (where can the user own a position credibly?)
## Action Items — prioritized, time-bound, specific (e.g. "Match competitor B's free-tier file limit within 30 days")
## Caveats — known unknowns, freshness of data, dimensions that need primary research
MUST cite sources from agent reports
MUST present report then stop; ask user which action items to pursue
