DESCRIPTION

Structured comparables snapshot for a company/sector pair: a sector-scoped web search surfacing candidate peers plus a research brief on the company itself (overview, key facts, sources), in one call. Composite: one call runs search as the required leg and research-brief in parallel as an optional leg, so an LLM/scrape hiccup degrades the response instead of failing the call. Structured data snapshot only, not a valuation or investment recommendation. Use it as a startup comparables finder or peer-set research bundle for agents doing market or competitive research.
