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
OSP Marketing Tools
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers LLMs to use some of Open Srategy Partners' core writing and product marketing techniques.
research-ops-skills
Enterprise / cross-functional Research Operations domain — the managed counterpart to the academic research/ domain. v2.9.0 ships 5 skills: orchestrator (context: fork), clinical-research (protocol synopsis, endpoint selection, sample-size/power for means/proportions/survival, phase-gate feasibility), research-finance (R&D budgeting with F&A split, burn/runway, capitalize-vs-expense routing, portfolio ROI), market-research (TAM/SAM/SOM top-down and bottoms-up, survey sampling with FPC, Kotler segmentation), and product-research (goal-matched study design, method-based saturation, insight synthesis flagging single-source anecdotes). Hard rules: outputs are estimates routed to a named clinical or finance owner, market sizes show method + assumptions, product insights require recurrence across independent participants. 24 stdlib Python tools, 12 reference docs. Distinct from ra-qm-team, finance, research/grants, product-team, and marketing-skill.
