## Depth: the buyer's journey with AI

Directions is recommended #2, but AI understands it only #5. The gap is pricing, the one question AI can't answer for a buyer.

### Offerings & services: Good

Customer asks: "What does Directions do?"

> It looks like there isn't a well-known restaurant or cafe named "Directions" in Los Angeles, CA. When searching for that name, results typically point toward mapping features (like getting driving directions to local…

Answerable for the common cases a customer asks about.

### Availability & booking: Partial

"Can I book Directions this week? Are they taking new customers?"

> The term "Directions" might refer to a typo, a specific restaurant/venue, or a general travel query regarding daily costs in Los Angeles. Depending on what you mean, here is a breakdown of what things typically cost per…

AI's average per person estimates span $17.5 to $100, too wide to give a customer a firm number to plan around.

### Fit & qualification: Good

"Can Directions handle what I need?"

Answerable for the common cases a customer asks about.

### What makes them different: Empty

"Why choose Directions over the others?"

> There is no prominent or widely recognized restaurant named "Directions" in Los Angeles, CA , as the term typically refers to navigational routing rather than a local dining establishment. If you meant a specific…

Boilerplate that's true of any competitor. AI has nothing concrete a customer could actually choose Directions on.

Depth from the tightened scoring run: pricing weighted for cross-assistant consistency, differentiation judged for concreteness.
