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
foresight-engine
Strategic intelligence plugin for Claude Code. Give it any real-world forecasting question and it produces a structured four-scenario analysis (Probable, Plausible, Possible, Preferable) backed by live web signals, historical analogues, and deterministic probability scoring. Built on IFTF foresight methodology: STEEEP framework, Futures Cone, Cross-Impact Analysis, and Backcasting. Two-layer architecture: Python handles all deterministic arithmetic; Claude handles web search, reasoning, and scenario writing.
FutPicks
Probable football lineups with start probability and expected fantasy points, graded in public.
