Narrative analysis

Where TypeOS likely provides value: users who work primarily in Google Docs and want an integrated sidebar for drafting, formatting, and study artifact generation
Where alternatives provide value:
- Dedicated editors may offer structured writing workflows and versioning
- Research-first tools may be stronger for up-to-date synthesis and cited outputs
- Traditional academic tools (editing and citation services) may align better with institutional integrity policies
