Competitors and Inspiration¶
This section is for competitive and market intelligence that helps with positioning, outreach, sales conversations, and account strategy.
Deep technical analysis of competitor architecture can still live in the Product Wiki when it directly affects product decisions. This section should keep the outward-facing interpretation: what they sell, who they target, how they position, what TextCAD can learn, and how it changes our pitch.

External Tools and Technical References¶
These are external products, viewers, SDK-linked surfaces, and public tool references that matter for TextCAD from a competition, inspiration, or ecosystem-reading perspective. Even when the original save reason was technical, they are still tracked here first because they shape what users compare us against and what product patterns already exist in the market.
