The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive explanation of Request Network's core service, pricing, and differentiation by combining direct site visits (homepage, pricing, about, blog) with web searches and prior knowledge. The site's information architecture is sparse—key pages exist but many common navigation paths (use-cases, developers, docs, features, applications) returned 404s—forcing the agent to rely heavily on search results and prior knowledge (70%) to complete the task. The main domain pages that did load contained limited detail, requiring supplementary research to answer all four task dimensions fully.
- ›The homepage [1] and pricing page [2] provided headline claims ('0.9% flat fee', 'no custody', 'get paid in crypto') but lacked depth; the about page [5] added organizational context but still left gaps on use cases and competitive positioning.
- ›The site's navigation is broken: six direct guesses for common sections (use-cases, developers, docs, applications, features) all returned 404s [3,4,6,7,8], forcing the agent to discover these concepts through web search instead of following onsite information architecture.
- ›Web searches [11,14,15,16,17,19,20] were essential to the final answer—they surfaced third-party explainers, industry coverage (iGaming, Stripe comparisons), and feature announcements that the main domain did not clearly publish or link to.
- ›The docs site [12] exists but is JavaScript-heavy and was not directly quoted in the final answer; the agent's searches cited external sources (CoinMarketCap, Gemini, iGB) rather than request.network's own documentation.
- ›Prior knowledge dominated the fetch sourcing (70%), indicating the agent relied on pre-trained facts about crypto payments and Request Network's positioning; only 20% came from artifacts and 10% from live web search, despite the site's incomplete navigation.
- ›The agent explicitly called out three areas as confusing or missing: REQ token vs. protocol terminology, regulatory grey area around KYC, and unclear pricing for Dashboard/API services—all gaps that the site did not resolve through its own pages.
