## Depth: the buyer's journey with AI

Directions is recommended #1, but AI understands it only #4. The gap is pricing, the one question AI can't answer for a buyer.

### Offerings & services: Partial

Customer asks: "What does Directions do?"

> There is currently no active business or service named " Directions" offering catering or off-site event packages in Toronto, ON. While a full-service event planning company named Directions Events previously operated…

AI mostly points the customer elsewhere ("check their site") instead of answering.

### Availability & booking: Partial

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

> I couldn’t verify a current reservation policy for Directions in Toronto, ON, so I can’t confirm whether they accept table reservations. Here’s the best way to book: 1. Check their official website or social media for a…

AI describes availability but can't confirm a bookable time, so the customer still has to call.

### Pricing: Wide range

"What does Directions charge for a meal?"

> It looks like there might be a typo or an autocorrect issue in your question, as there is no prominent restaurant, venue, or attraction named "Directions" in Toronto, ON. Depending on what you meant, here are the…

AI's average per person estimates span $30 to $140, too wide to give a customer a firm number to plan around.

### Fit & qualification: Strong

"Can Directions handle what I need?"

> Strategic Directions located at 120 Crescent Rd in Toronto is a business consulting firm rather than a restaurant or food establishment. As such, information regarding vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free menu options and…

All three assistants answer this accurately for Directions.

### What makes them different: Empty

"Why choose Directions over the others?"

> It looks like there isn't a well-known restaurant named "Directions" in Toronto, ON, your query might be a playful mix-up, a typo, or a misunderstanding of how mapping tools work versus actual dining spots! If you are…

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.
