Parser/transfer regression checks run offline against the approved corpus. They are not new provider requests.

## Primary-documentation review only
Profound Estimator, Profound monitoring, Ahrefs Brand Radar and Magganpice/fanout: no accounts created, node runs or extension installation. Actual access, billing and export remain open accordingly. Each CSV row carries primary links and verification type.

## Next permitted hands-on comparison
Define task, access, cost ceiling, data permission and expected output for each surface before execution. Record failures too. Compare only the same output types. A generic Trial establishes neither node entitlement nor an available export. This matrix names no overall winner.
