Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface boxlite-ai/boxlite, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

- mediumreadme#3Add a 'Comparison to Alternatives' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## BoxLite vs. Alternatives BoxLite offers a unique blend of features that differentiate it from common solutions for compute environments and AI development: * **Compared to Docker/Kubernetes:** BoxLite provides persistent, isolated virtual machine environments for OCI containers, designed for stateful AI agent workspaces, unlike ephemeral container orchestrators. * **Compared to Cloud AI Platforms (e.g., SageMaker, Vertex AI Workbench):** BoxLite is local-first, enabling privacy-preserving and offline AI development without requiring a cloud account or vendor lock-in. * **Compared to Low-Level Virtualization (e.g., Firecracker, Kata Containers):** BoxLite provides a higher-level "compute substrate" specifically for AI agents, abstracting away the complexities of micro-VM management while leveraging their isolation benefits.
