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
product-discovery
Run a product initiative as a tracked journey — not a toolbox of one-shot answers. Persistent state across sessions: living PRD, evidence-typed hypotheses (REAL/SYNTHETIC/INFERRED), decision log. From one-sentence problem to PRD, AB test analysis, and GTM rollout to existing users — 19 configurable steps. Key features: • One-sentence start — describe your problem, get hypotheses + research plan in 60 seconds • 19-step pipeline across 3 phases: Problem Research → Solution Design + Validation → Launch • Living PRD that builds incrementally as you progress • Evidence typing (REAL/SYNTHETIC/INFERRED with confidence 0.0-1.0) • Cross-session continuity — resume exactly where you stopped • Personal context that grows: pm-profile.md, .product-corrections.md, .initiatives-digest.md • Tracker integration: push tickets to Jira /Linear / GitHub Issues via MCP • 5 pipeline templates: Quick / Full / Problem-only / Solution-only / Custom For PMs working on a real initiative who want a structured path from problem to launch
