compare_solutions Read-only

For one capability (e.g. 'youtube-thumbnails', 'crm-contacts', 'workflow-automation'), compare all known tools: fit, quality scores on the dimensions that matter, required skill, cheapest qualifying plan and limitations.

capabilitystring, required

Capability slug, or a phrase like 'make thumbnails' (resolved via search)

estimate_savings

Audit the user's subscriptions. For each: keep, downgrade, redundant, test_replacement, review_unused or keep_critical — with the arithmetic. Savings are split into 'likely' and 'possible' and never double-counted. Costs are what the user actually pays (monthly, all seats).
