Being explicitly LLM-model-agnostic (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity) is a genuine architectural credit in a market where most tools quietly lock you to one vendor, and 2,000+ integrations is a real distribution moat rather than a vanity number. Where it earns its ceiling rather than a higher score: the headline outcomes — 'saved Lenovo $16M/year', '5x more meetings', '17 million users' — are exactly the class of claim that cannot be checked from outside, and the working product sits behind a signup wall, so this pass verifies positioning and trust signals, not the agent behaviour itself.
