    "article": "# Comparison Matrix\n\nThis page compresses the handbook into one comparison surface. Use it when you want to compare product shapes quickly before reading the detail pages.\n\nLegend:\n\n- `strong` means the product shape usually owns that layer directly\n- `partial` means it often owns part of the layer or exposes it through another host\n- `delegated` means the layer usually exists outside the product\n\n## Product-shape matrix\n\n| Product shape | 1-3 Model supply | 4-6 Agent system | 7-9 Operating boundary | 10-11 Surface |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Bare model API | strong | delegated | delegated | partial |\n| Model gateway | strong in 2-3 | delegated | delegated | partial |\n| Agent framework library | delegated | strong | delegated | delegated |\n| Coding agent CLI | delegated or partial | strong | strong or partial | strong |\n| Hosted agent platform | partial | strong | strong or partial | strong |\n| IDE extension over an agent | delegated | delegated or partial | partial | strong |\n\n## What the matrix is good for\n\n- spotting over-claimed products quickly\n- separating visible UI strength from deeper system ownership\n- comparing two products that feel similar but own different parts of the stack\n\n## What the matrix is not for\n\n- final classification of a specific product\n- edge cases where one product bundles another\n- situations where deployment mode changes the layer boundary\n\nFor those cases, continue with [`03-placement-checklist.md`](./03-placement-checklist.md) and [`layers.md`](./layers.md).\n",
