description	Compare multiple captured ideas head-to-head across explicit dimensions — commercial prospect, speed to first revenue, capital intensity, fit-to-user, defensibility, social impact — and produce a ranked recommendation. Use when the user has 2+ ideas in the workspace and wants help choosing where to focus.

Compare Ideas

Ranked head-to-head comparison across the user's idea portfolio.

Steps

1. Read <workspace_path>/ideas/ — list available idea slugs. Confirm with the user which ideas to include in the comparison (default: all ideas with at least one lens analysis).
2. For each idea, gather the available lens outputs. If an idea has only idea.md and no analysis, warn the user that the comparison will be shallow for that one.
3. Score each idea on a consistent rubric (1–10):
   • Commercial prospect (TAM, defensibility, pricing power)
   • Speed to first revenue (weeks to first paying customer)
   • Capital efficiency (how far user can take it on bootstrap budget)
   • Fit to user (per user-context.md — domain expertise, capital appetite, risk profile, values)
   • Defensibility / moat
   • Social impact alignment
   • Solo-buildable (can the user, plus realistic help, ship it)
4. Compute a weighted overall (default equal weights — let the user override).
5. Build a comparison matrix table.
6. Write a verdict paragraph: which idea to pursue first, which to defer, which to drop. Be opinionated.

Output

<workspace_path>/comparisons/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md (workspace-level, not per-idea) with frontmatter:

Notes

• If the user has done deep analysis on some ideas and not others, weight the comparison conservatively for the under-analysed ones (mark scores as low-confidence).
• Surface non-numeric considerations the rubric misses — e.g. "Idea A is the rational choice but you've told me you don't want to spend three years in B2B sales".
