Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
Dart AI
Dart AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
waterfall
Multi-agent Specification-Driven Development (SDD) framework for Claude Code. Waterfall orchestrates a team of specialized agents (PM, OR, PO, TL, DV, RV, QA, DS) through a strict waterfall workflow — from product brief to validated implementation — with explicit handoffs, persistent state, and identity enforcement.
