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
grainulator
Research sprint orchestrator for Claude Code. Ask a question, get a decision-ready brief — every finding is tracked as a typed claim, adversarially challenged, confidence-graded, and compiled into self-contained HTML output. Zero dependencies, MIT licensed.
popper-probe
A research companion based on Karl Popper's philosophy of falsification that interrogates your hypotheses to find what would prove them wrong. It acts like an adversarial supervisor by sharpening the scope, designing concrete experimentation setup, and referring to literature for state-of-the-art approaches.
