Grounded in data
When the answer is a fact, it ties back to structured benchmarks and vendor records — so you can trace it to a defensible source.
- ✓ Vendor facts (scale, regions, certifications)
- ✓ Rate bands with clear units and citations
- ✓ Taxonomy-aligned scope — not generic “IT” buckets
Labeled reasoning
When synthesis is needed, MaxxBot says so explicitly — with the methodology in view, not disguised as a database hit.
- ✓ Compare vendors and patterns across categories
- ✓ Walk through commercial and pricing logic
- ✓ Separates opinion from verified facts
