The agent could not access avid.com directly—every fetch returned 403—and instead assembled an explanation from web search snippets and third-party sources. The answer covers what Avid does, its market position, and current pricing for Media Composer, but lacks verification against Avid's own site and contains acknowledged gaps around perpetual licensing and non-Media-Composer products.

• ›Site actively blocks direct access: all direct fetches (homepage, www variant, sitemap, product pages) returned 403, forcing fallback to search results and unverified third-party reporting.
• ›Search results yielded the most useful signal: step [5] surfaced Avid's own pricing page URL and a 2024 price adjustment notice in snippets, even though the agent could not fetch those pages directly.
• ›Pricing information came exclusively from search snippets and third-party resellers, not from fetched Avid pages. The agent correctly flagged that third-party sources disagree (ranging from $23.99–$1,025.99) and noted that some data predates 2024 pricing changes.
• ›Agent filled gaps about competitive positioning (Adobe, DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) from model memory, not from any fetched content, and explicitly labeled this as unverified.
• ›No product pages, about page, or comparison content could be checked; the agent's understanding of Avid's target audience and product differentiation rests entirely on search context and prior knowledge, not on site-owned positioning or messaging.
