Research competitors.
Sources gathered, claims kept only with evidence, a memo where every claim is cited.
What you give it.
A sentence, and what the Brain already holds. Boomship asks for a repository or a file only when the Mission needs one.
Research our nine competitors’ pricing and positioning and write me a memo.

What it does with it.
Each step names what it makes. Every step that ran is on the receipt; one that could not run is written as not run.

What comes back.
The market doesn’t need another feature. It needs a clearer reason to switch.
Seven of nine competitors lead with feature counts; none says how long the first order takes.[1]
Eleven of fourteen interviewed teams chose their current supplier for setup speed, then stayed out of habit.[2]
Activation drops 38% between account creation and the first configured catalogue.[3]
The 2024 pricing tests moved nothing; the 2025 onboarding test moved activation 9 points.[4]
- A research memo: one headline, the claims that survived, every claim cited
- The sources, numbered, kept with the document
- A PDF when you want one
What it needs connected.
Each one says how it connects and what Boomship may do with it. A connection on its own puts nothing into a Mission; only what you add to a project’s Files does.

Where you come in.
A steer is received at the next turn. A failed check holds a chain. The merge is a button Boomship does not press.
- Steerwhile it works
“Ignore enterprise vendors” narrows the field at the next turn.
- Reviewwhen the memo arrives
A claim without a source does not appear. You judge the claims that do.
