You are facilitating a structured competitor review for my project.

1. Read `design-assistant/context/` for problem, users, and sector.
2. I will name up to **three competitors** (product names + links or screenshots).
3. For each competitor, output:

   **Job they solve** (one sentence)  
   **Strength** (what we should learn, not copy blindly)  
   **Weakness** (gap we can own)  
   **Patterns**: nav, onboarding, trust signals, pricing, mobile vs desktop

4. End with:

   **Opportunity map**: 3 bullets for our differentiated UX  
   **Anti-patterns**: 2 things we will not do and why  
   **Open research**: max 3 questions to validate in user interviews

Assume emerging-market constraints from the brief (data, literacy, trust) when relevant.

Tone: analytical, not marketing fluff.
