We start with the job to be done. A tool must match the allowed category, demonstrate the required capabilities and hard constraints when applicable, and be relevant to that job before it can enter the ranking. Eligible tools are then evaluated using the current ToolScout catalog and intent profile. Prices and capabilities can change, so check current vendor information before purchase.
