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
deep-work
Deep Work day planner. Classifies tasks deep vs shallow with a shallow-work budget verdict (plus the recent-graduate forcing question), builds a time-blocked schedule (deep blocks of 90+ minutes first, shallow batched, buffers, refuses more than 4 hours of deep demand), and logs focus sessions against a weekly deep-hours target with streaks. Fills the time/attention-management gap from audit/productivity-2026-07.
