The short answer
A score such as 9.5 without data is decoration. Leave unknowns explicit and turn material gaps into tests.
Try it in three steps
- Choose three criteria relevant to your task.
- Attach evidence to each known fact.
- Compare verified items and propose tests for unknowns.
A practice prompt
Before you start
A and B are fictional proposals, not product recommendations.
Practice material (fictional)
A offers spreadsheet export with human confirmation. B claims full automation without export or error-handling details.Replace placeholders in the prompt with this material, or append the material if there are no placeholders. Reading time excludes doing the exercise.
Compare A and B on learning effort, export and human review using supplied material only. Provide evidence and unknowns, not invented scores.What to look for (not a recorded test result)
Record A's known features and ask about B's gaps. Do not reward the automation claim or assume export is absent.
If it goes wrong
If the comparison is generic, add one work sample as a common test.
Check your result
The conclusion traces to criteria and changes in priorities have explainable effects.
