My agent team found 16 accepted findings to one agent's 9 and resolved zero briefs

On six competitor briefs, a research team produced 16 accepted findings against a single agent's 9, resolved none of the briefs, and cost $16.98 against $7.84.

• The single agent resolved one brief and the team resolved none, so I did not keep the team. That was the rule I declared before the run. More accepted findings did not add up to more accepted work.
• I've already watched internal checks agree and still miss the task. My page generator and sitemap read from the same incomplete list, so they matched, every check passed, and the requested pages returned 404.
• In a synthetic supplier test, an answer can cite every document and still fail. "Alder is cheaper, so choose Alder" saves $1,000 and ignores that Alder deletes backups in 60 days when the buyer allows 30.
