The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive explanation of AQR Capital Management by combining minimal content from the firm's website (which relied heavily on JavaScript and returned largely empty HTML) with supplementary information from web search results and cited sources. The site itself was poorly navigable for machine reading—static page fetches returned boilerplate metadata but not substantive content—forcing the agent to rely on search results and external documents (Wikipedia, Form CRS, research papers) to answer the task. The final answer was well-structured and accurate, but built primarily from sources outside aqr.com rather than from the site's own published pages.

• ›Steps [1–7] directly fetched aqr.com pages (/about, /products, /pricing, /funds, /strategies) but all returned nearly identical boilerplate HTML with <4400 char responses—static content was not included, indicating heavy client-side rendering that the agent could not parse.
• ›Steps [9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 19] performed web searches; search results yielded URLs and snippets that populated the final answer far more than the direct site fetches. Step [9] returned a link to '/What-We-Do/Our-Approach' which was then directly fetched at step [13] but still rendered minimally.
• ›Step [13] fetched the 'What We Do' page (linked from search results) and step [14] fetched funds.aqr.com/ (a subdomain); neither returned substantive body text in the truncated response shown, yet the agent cited them as sources, indicating either the full response contained usable content or the agent relied on prior knowledge to fill gaps.
• ›Critical information (fees, strategies, client types, minimums) was sourced from external documents cited in search results (Form CRS PDF, Wikipedia, hedge fund databases, research papers) rather than from aqr.com's public website pages. The agent had to use 25% web search and 63% prior knowledge to compensate for the site's JavaScript-heavy, machine-unfriendly presentation.
• ›The agent explicitly flagged missing/confusing elements: no public pricing page, JavaScript rendering preventing content access, unexplained fee structures, separate business entities (AQR Capital Management vs. AQR Investments vs. AQR Funds) not clarified on the site, and hidden AUM figures—all indicating the site does not expose key commercial information in accessible, static form.
