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
shift-leadership-skills-for-the-ai-era
SHIFT: Leadership Skills for the AI Era is a personalised AI leadership development agent. It does not teach generic leadership content. It becomes your leadership partner by learning who you are, what you do, and who you are becoming. When you install SHIFT, the first thing it does is learn your world: your role, your industry, your team, your biggest challenge, and your 12-month goal. From that point forward, every exercise, every reflection, every piece of development is specific to your life. A plumber running a crew of 6 gets different coaching than an HR director managing a call centre. Same skills. Different application. Because context changes everything. SHIFT builds 6 essential skills: S: Self-Management — regulating emotions, energy, and reactions under pressure H: Human Intelligence — reading people, adapting approach, building trust I: Innovation — questioning assumptions, taking initiative, proposing ideas F: Focus — prioritising ruthlessly, aligning effort to outcomes T: Thinking — independent
