Research Competitive Landscape

For each competing paper, assess:

• Method: What geometric/quantum tools do they use?
• Application: Market regime detection, or different financial application?
• Data: What markets/instruments/frequencies?
• Evaluation: How do they measure performance? Is it rigorous?
• Scale: How many methods compared? How many crises/regimes?

3. Generate Comparison Table

| Paper | Year | Method | Data | Evaluation | Our Advantage |
|-------|------|--------|------|-----------|---------------|
| ... | 2024 | Single Berry phase | S&P 500 | Visual only | 17 channels, 36 methods, statistical testing |

4. Gap Analysis

Identify:

• What methods exist that we haven't compared against?
• What datasets/markets should we test on?
• What evaluation metrics are standard in the field but missing from our paper?
• What claims do competitors make that we should address?

5. Differentiation Summary

Write a 3-paragraph summary of how our approach differs:

1. What we do that nobody else does (17-channel observatory, systematic comparison)
2. What we do better (statistical rigor, reproducibility, fusion methods)
3. What we should improve (based on competitor strengths)

Output

Save analysis to literature/competitive_landscape.md and present key findings.

• Read paper/references.bib to check what we already cite
• Read literature/reading_list.yaml to check what we already track
• Focus on papers from 2020-2026 (recent competitive landscape)
• Flag any paper we should cite but haven't
