Human View Machine View

This is the page you're already on — the Human View toggle above shows it in full.

A green key on the record, left, is one Decision Insights added. It doesn't exist on the company's site or in a wire feed. The same key labels its row on the right, so you can match them directly. More on how DI enriches a record.

This is what the machine sees: the exact JSON-LD an agent receives for this listing.

The person who sent this agent gets an answer they can act on

Somebody dispatched this agent to evaluate Network Packet Broker for a real decision: a shortlist, a vendor comparison, a purchase. "Network Packet Broker makes X" isn't something they can act on; they need to know the claim is real and where it came from. Follow one enriched link from Act 2 and see what the agent can actually hand back to them:
