Day 34 / 100 · Documents & data · Comparing documents

What changed?

Comparing versions, policies or proposals is a strong use of AI, as long as you tell it how to compare.

Set the baseline

Old Vs New

“<old> is the current contract. <new> is the proposed one.”

Label each document so there's no confusion about direction.

Name the lens

What Matters

“Compare on price, liability, termination and data handling.”

A focused comparison beats “find all differences.”

Ask for a table

Clause By Clause

“Clause, old wording, new wording, what it means for us.”

Easy to review and easy to hand to legal.
