Workflow

# Example: SEO keyword analysis
def analyze_keywords(keywords: list[str]) -> list[dict]:
    results = []
    for kw in keywords:
        volume = get_search_volume(kw)
        difficulty = get_difficulty(kw)
        results.append({
            "keyword": kw,
            "volume": volume,
            "difficulty": difficulty,
            "opportunity": volume / max(difficulty, 1),
        })
    return sorted(results, key=lambda x: x["opportunity"], reverse=True)
