Ease of use and autonomous level
Automation
How easy it is for a team to reach useful outcomes, and how much work the product can perform autonomously after setup.
Nightwatch
Good guided autonomy: agent proposes/analyzes and MCP can query/run analyses; human review remains important and dashboard setup is still required.
