Tool-vs-tool research

Research the category first, then open the direct alternative page.

This hub is for earlier-stage evaluation. Use it when DocsAlot is not yet part of the query and you still need a cleaner read on how documentation platforms, knowledge bases, and legacy authoring tools differ.

Use this hub for category research first. Move into `/compare` when DocsAlot becomes part of the real shortlist.
