The problem
Name variants hide duplicate and missing vendors
Someone exports the vendor lists from FreshBooks and Ramp and compares them by eye. Vendors in only one system slip through, and variants such as Contoso Inc and Contoso, LLC look different even when they are the same company.
Without PopdockAI
- Export vendors from FreshBooks and Ramp
- Compare names by eye
- Miss name variants of the same company
- Let duplicates and gaps build up
With PopdockAI
- Vendors and contact emails read from both systems
- Matched on email first, then name without suffixes
- Close names listed as possible matches, never merged
- Ramp-only vendors shown with last year's spend

**Objective:** Compare vendors in FreshBooks and Ramp, optionally limited to names containing `{vendor-name}` (default: all vendors, capped at 200 per side), and report where the two lists disagree.
**Step 1: Read FreshBooks vendors (FreshBooks server)**
Call `freshbooks-get-vendor`. If `{vendor-name}` is given, pass it as `vendor-name.contains`. Set `max-records` to 200. Keep vendor name, email, country and ID. If `{company}` is given, pass it as `company` on every FreshBooks call; otherwise omit it.
**Step 2: Read Ramp vendors (Ramp server)**
Call `ramp-get-vendor`. If `{vendor-name}` is given, pass it as `name.contains`. Set `max-records` to 200. Keep vendor name, legal name, ID and total spend. Where a vendor's email matters, call `ramp-get-vendor-contact` with the Ramp vendor ID as `vendor-id`.
**Step 3: Match**
Match on email first when both sides have one, then on name ignoring case, punctuation and suffixes such as Inc, LLC and Ltd. Treat a Ramp legal name as a match for a FreshBooks name too. List close but not exact name matches as "possible match" and do not merge them yourself.
**Step 4: Report**
Three tables: in both (with both IDs), only in FreshBooks, only in Ramp (with Ramp total spend in the last 365 days). End with counts and the 5 Ramp-only vendors with the highest spend.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `freshbooks-get-vendor` is on the FreshBooks server. `ramp-get-vendor` and `ramp-get-vendor-contact` are on the Ramp server.
* This prompt is read-only. Do not call any write tool, including `freshbooks-add-vendor`, `freshbooks-update-vendor`, `freshbooks-delete-vendor`, `freshbooks-add-bill`, `freshbooks-add-bill-line`, `freshbooks-update-bill-payment`, `freshbooks-add-bill-payment`, `freshbooks-delete-bill`, `freshbooks-delete-bill-payment`, `freshbooks-add-expense`, `freshbooks-update-expense`, `freshbooks-delete-expense`, `ramp-vendor-add`, `ramp-vendor-update`, `ramp-vendor-delete`, `ramp-bill-add`, `ramp-bill-update`, `ramp-bill-archive`, `ramp-bill-draft-add`, `ramp-reimbursement-add-mileage`.
**Validation:**
* If one server returns no vendors, say so, report everything from the other side as unmatched, and stop.
* If a list hit the 200 cap, say the comparison is partial and suggest narrowing `{vendor-name}`.Who it's for
