The agent assembled a comprehensive overview of North South University by combining fragments from the official website with external sources (Wikipedia, educational ranking sites, comparison blogs), working around a broken site navigation that returned 404s for standard paths like /academics and /admissions. The official site provided core identity (what NSU is, its schools, founding year) and pricing details, but the agent had to rely heavily on web search and third-party sources to answer comparative positioning and complete admissions/program information, revealing significant gaps in the university's self-published digital presence.

• ›Step [0] and [1] (homepage and /about) established basic institutional identity but lacked actionable details on programs, pricing, or admissions; the agent then discovered that intuitive navigation paths (/academics, /admissions, /tuition) returned 404s, forcing a pivot to web search.
• ›Step [9] (tuition-fees page, found via web search not site navigation) was the only official source that delivered pricing specifics; the homepage and about page did not surface this critical link or information, indicating poor internal discoverability.
• ›Steps [6], [7], [12], [13] (Wikipedia, Educatly, collegevorti comparison, UniHub comparison) provided the majority of content used to answer 'what makes NSU different' and 'how it compares to alternatives'—information the official site did not publish in any accessible form, forcing the agent to synthesize external editorial sources.
• ›The agent cited 7 sources in its final answer; only 3 were from northsouth.edu itself (homepage, tuition-fees page, admissions link), while 4 were external third-party sources, indicating the official website is agent-hostile for discovery and evaluation tasks.
• ›Critical gaps remain: the site does not publish a structured, crawlable page listing all undergraduate programs, does not explain admission requirements centrally, and lacks transparent scholarship criteria—all information the agent had to interpolate or source externally.
