The Strategy Stack.

Workflow

scan & research (Perplexity Deep Research) → think & synthesise (Claude Opus) → model & cost (Claude for Excel / code) → produce (deck tool) → monitor (your Landscape + a primary feed).

Core stack

Claude Opus · Perplexity · Claude for Excel · a deck tool.

Verdict

spend your quality budget on the strongest reasoning model as a sparring partner; use Perplexity for anything needing a citation. The tools draft; you decide.

Gotchas

verify every cited figure — models invent market data confidently; a slick deck can launder a weak argument.
