START HERE for provider procurement. ONE call turns a task into: (1) its live MARKET — the semantic neighbourhood of the closest-matching providers, found purely by text-embedding nearness (NO fixed category), with the relevance floor and how many providers cleared it; (2) current pricing context — comparable price range and median with mean, stdev and n, plus provider/priced counts; and (3) a ready-to-compare provider shortlist — each with observed price, market_position (below/in-line/above market), integration status, match score, and handles collected in `compare_ready`. Retrieval is 100% nearest-neighbour by text embedding: providers are matched on what they actually DO, never on an assigned label. REUSES the canonical pricing/search engines (no new pricing logic). Also returns `suggested_alternatives` (cheaper or stronger options) and a `result_fingerprint` (+ `cached`) so repeat calls are cheap. It does NOT run the comparison — pass `compare_ready` to compare_providers once you have finalists. Use the lower-level tools (find_market, market_report, price_benchmark, search_providers) for finer control. Aliases: `task` also accepts `query` / `q`.
