Why this is different from a search list
Needо starts from the outcome, not a pile of links. It can research current evidence, compare options against your constraints, identify what still needs verification, prepare a next action and keep the problem open when real-world feedback changes the situation.
Frequently asked questions
Can Needо preserve a specific feature?
Yes. State it as a hard requirement and Needо can use it as a comparison criterion.
Will it explain what I lose with an alternative?
The workflow is designed to surface material differences and trade-offs rather than hide them.
