The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive explanation of Finch by combining information from the site's core pages (homepage, pricing, product, integrations, competitor comparison) with external research. The site's public-facing material clearly communicates what Finch does and who it serves, but pricing for higher tiers and technical integration details required external sources or inference; the agent worked around incomplete disclosure rather than being blocked.

• ›Steps [1], [3], [6] directly surfaced Finch's core value proposition (unified API for 250+ HRIS/payroll systems, standardized data model, read/write capabilities), making the 'what' and 'who' answerable from the homepage alone.
• ›Step [2] (pricing page) exposed only Starter tier pricing ($65/connection) and mention of volume discounts; Pro/Premier pricing was intentionally not publicly listed, forcing the agent to disclose this gap and flag it as a source limitation.
• ›Step [10] (compare-finch page) was explicitly cited and provided the competitive positioning (vs. Merge, Apideck), but the agent had to rely on external articles ([13] and web search results) to articulate the 'assisted integration' model and its implications—this distinction is not clearly explained on Finch's own site.
• ›The site's information architecture is straightforward (pricing, product, integrations, comparisons all guessable URLs or discoverable), but critical details about integration types (API-first vs. manual/assisted), refresh rates, and enterprise pricing require either sales contact or external research.
• ›The agent relied on prior knowledge for ~50% of its answer (general HRIS/payroll concept knowledge) and web search for ~25%, indicating the site alone does not provide sufficient depth for a complete competitive analysis or technical architecture breakdown.
