More than
ticker metadata.
Parqet-style APIs shine when the input is a listed symbol. Orsa starts from domains, descriptors, and pages — then connects tickers when they appear in the public graph.

The honest version,
before the table
A comparison page should help a buyer decide, not pretend every competitor is useless. These pages now lead with the trade-off.
Teach the switch,
then make the table useful
Teams comparing Parqet need to understand the migration shape: what to replace first, what to keep, and where Orsa expands the workflow.

- Start with a narrow replacement for the current vendor call.
- Keep the developer path visible with migration code and SDK examples.
- Show the expansion path into brand data, web extraction, classification, and workflows.
