b4_browseFor browsing, filtering, or finding the index's name for something. Example: {"query": "warehouse picking", "domain": "Supply Chain"}. Search and filter every independently scored software category in the B4 Index. Browse by keyword, domain, quadrant, or industry. When filtering by industry, returnsb4_scoreFor one exact category name or id. Example: {"category": "Expense Management", "org": "medium"}. Score a software category using the B4 Index. Provide a known category name to get pre-computed scores, or provide raw dimension scores (1-5 each) for a custom evaluation. Structured output carries the fb4_auditFor a list of vendor or product names (a stack), with an optional description per row. Example: {"tools": ["Salesforce", {"name": "Lydia Voice", "description": "voice-directed picking in the warehouse"}]}. Each row resolves by name when the vendor is indexed, otherwise by its description; a row thatb4_compareFor one exact category name or id when the question is the build path against the buy path. Example: {"category": "Order Management (OMS)"}. Returns the authored side-by-side comparison (build, buy and bridge by dimension), when building is right, when buying is right, and the score-derived case forb4_recommendFor a need or problem in words, not a vendor name. Example: {"description": "we need to route warehouse pickers by voice"}. Get B4 Index recommendations from a natural language description of a software need or business context. Matches the description to relevant categories and returns top matches
