Research direction
Start by reading the existing -simulate-zone lab mode and its scenario-directive implementation, then inspect the CLI and README/landing-page documentation entry points. The issue proposes adding bench/ scenarios and a make bench-compare script, but does not identify existing test files or benchmark infrastructure. Done means the command reproduces the published comparison table on a fresh machine and the results page is linked from the README and landing page.

Description
Value / who it's for
The strongest launch asset for #74. Users choosing a tool want evidence. subenum's differentiators (real rate limiting, per-query accounting, wildcard filtering, a confidence verdict) only show up in a benchmark that measures recall under adverse resolvers and queries actually sent vs the configured rate, not raw speed.
Rationale
Lab mode (-simulate-zone) with $REFUSE-ABOVE/$DELAY-style scenario directives makes a fully local, legal and reproducible benchmark possible. Competitors can be pointed at the same local server with their resolver flags.
Suggested approach
bench/with scenario zones: clean, wildcard, rotating-pool wildcard, rate-limited resolver, flaky resolver, plus a script (make bench-compare) that runs each tool against the local server and records recall, false positives, wall time and wire queries (counted at the server).- A docs page with the results table, versions, and how to reproduce. Include where subenum loses; honesty is the brand.
Done when
make bench-compare reproduces the published table on a fresh machine, and the page is linked from the README and landing page.
