Intuit answers to households, not labs.
You turned Anthropic down. Intuit keeps the households and hires whichever lab's model gets the most returns right.
Every lab wants its model inside your agent. Each January, they audition for tax season.
The Chair: Whoever gets the most returns right gets the season. The rest get a polite letter.
OMNI: ...I've been studying Schedule C. All night. Ask me anything.
Outcome: Won the relationship
Families trusted an agent that favored no lab. You kept it independent and made the labs earn every tax season.
