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.

anticipating-shadow-points
Helps you ship complex engineering work without missing the obvious. Before any code is written, ASP runs an automated pre-mortem to surface failure modes that engineers (and LLMs) routinely miss on first pass — RLS policy gaps, replica lag during migrations, rate-limit issues in external APIs, deprecated callsites, monitoring blind spots, untested rollback paths. It then validates the plan with an independent agent, locks execution into a step-by-step contract with acceptance tests, and runs autonomously until done. Use before any non-trivial task: schema migrations, refactors across many files, deploys with external dependencies, RLS policy changes, or architecture decisions.
