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 openai/universe, 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.

- mediumcomparison#2Add a historical comparison section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Historical Context and Comparison OpenAI Universe pioneered a unique approach to AI training by enabling agents to interact with *any* existing software application or game through a virtual desktop interface (pixels, keyboard, mouse). This differentiated it from platforms like OpenAI Gym (which focused on standardized, API-driven environments) or Unity ML-Agents (which integrates directly with the Unity engine), by allowing broad generalization across arbitrary, real-world software.
