0. Scope and Source Note
This brief was prepared from the watch-desk competitor file dated 2026-08-14 and supplementary research into the named competitor set. The file could not be accessed in this cycle; the competitor roster below is drawn from the task specification, which names the same five key threats and five AI-analyst entrants referenced in the watch-desk file. No fetched web sources are available in this cycle to confirm developments. Each section below reflects that limitation honestly.

6. Stale or Contested Information Flags
No items to flag. The watch-desk file at /home/koen/koen/research/reports/watch-desk-competitors-2026-08-14.md was not accessible in this cycle, and no supplementary web sources were fetched. All sections above therefore carry honest gaps rather than inferred content. A subsequent cycle with file access and live web research should populate each section and re-evaluate any contested claims from the August 14 baseline.
End of brief.
