The index, as one table
Overlaps
Six pages, one for each job in this catalog that has more than one owner. The table below is the whole index. Nothing is hidden behind a card, because the useful part of an overlap is the comparison, and a comparison belongs in a row.
Of the five jobs tracked here, three are claimed by more than one category and two are claimed by exactly one. That split is the whole architecture of the site.
| The job | What already does it | What you might add | Whether that is a second one | Read it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The apps | A smart TV | A streaming player | This is a second one | The TV already runs apps |
| The input | The remotes already in the boxes | A replacement remote | This is a second one | Four remotes on one table |
| The apps | A smart display in the kitchen | A streaming player on the TV | This is not a second one | The smart display is not a TV player |
| The sound | A smart TV | A sound bar | Depends on what you already own | The TV has speakers and you bought a bar |
| The picture | The cable already behind the TV | A new HDMI cable | Depends on what you already own | The cable that came in the box |
| The apps | A new streaming stick | A renewed streaming stick | This is not a second one | Renewed is not a second new one |
How a verdict is decided
A verdict here is about listings, not about households. This is a second one means both listings state the same job in their own words. Depends on what you already own means one side states the job and the other side is silent, so the answer lives in a room this site cannot see. This is not a second one means the two things do different work, whatever the shelf they share suggests.
None of these verdicts is advice against buying anything. A doubled job is often a deliberate, sensible purchase. It is only a problem when it happens by accident.
