| Dimension | Acren | Data APIs | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary product job | Reviewable research workspace | Programmatic data delivery | API capabilities vary by provider. |
| Search model | Interactive search and inspection | Endpoint, schema and query dependent | No provider-specific claim is made. |
| Ownership | Observed and candidate relationship states | Depends on returned schema and source | Validate against the source. |
| Evidence visibility | Built into each conclusion | Depends on endpoint and metadata | Source references may require separate handling. |
| Public pricing | Beta Partner ladder published | Not applicable as a category | No generic API price asserted. |
Specific by design.
