## What you end up with

When a client asks which agent tool to use, you answer with a scored, sourced comparison instead of a gut call.

## What you get

- Six trust patterns with an offer audit
- The ten-line A-or-B scorecard with an evidence rule
- A comparison prompt with no-contact rules
- A two-minute test and harness notes for four tools

## Who it is for

Anyone who has to pick between two agent tools, or audit their own agent offer, and wants evidence rather than a feature list.

## Tools needed

- Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex or Hermes: drafts and refreshes map rows from public pages and writes them as proposals for you to approve
- You need: An agent or chat assistant that can read public web pages

Cost to run: Free.

## Sample prompt: Score two tools (Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes)

```
Compare <tool A> and <tool B> for this job: <job>. Read only their own public pages and docs. Score each scorecard line 0 to 2 with the evidence and URL. Anything you could not see is 0.
Do not recommend one, and never sign up, start a trial or contact either company. End with the lines where both scored 0.
```

The scorecard table is in the file.

# Six trust patterns and the A-or-B scorecard (free sample)

A free sample from Agent Market Map 2026: who does what, what buyers pay, and where a small team fits, by PaperChaseWebb. Works in Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex and Hermes, and pastes into Claude or ChatGPT. Version 1.0, 2026-10-27.

When a client asks "which agent tool should we use," most answers are a feature list or a gut call. This sample gives you two things from the full map: the six trust patterns that keep showing up in agent products people pay for, and a ten-line scorecard for comparing two tools on evidence. Use them on your own offer or on any two tools this afternoon.

## The six trust patterns

These recur across agent products as of October 2026. Each is a design choice you can copy, or a question to ask a seller.

1. **Human handoff on request is a hard rule.** The customer can always reach a person, and the agent says so.
2. **The person in charge keeps the final call.** The agent prepares; the owner, official or reviewer decides.
3. **The agent never holds the secret.** One-time cards, scoped tokens, read-only access by default.
4. **Proof over claims.** Show the working result, not a list of possibilities.
5. **One job, end to end.** Narrow beats broad when a buyer has to trust it with real work.
6. **Requirements before purchase.** Tell the buyer what apps, access and time they need before they pay.

Audit your own offer: for each pattern, write yes, no, or "not relevant, becaus
````

## Worth knowing

- The sample has no examples or prices; the full pack names public products for each pattern, with sources and dates.

## Questions

**What is in the full pack?** Seven layers of the agent market with public examples, a dated pricing-shape table, a fit worksheet, a CSV and rules for keeping your own map, eight prompts with approval steps, a read-only check script and a seeded test map. $19.
