— HOW IT BEHAVES
How Document comparison produces its result
The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.
What actually changed
Two versions of the opportunity set are compared directly, separating the options that genuinely moved from the ones that only read differently.
Criteria-based analysis of every option
Each option is assessed against explicit criteria you control, so the same standard is applied across the opportunity set on every run.
Grounded in your own internal context and external research
The run works from internal context and external research you supply, so conclusions about the opportunity set are anchored to your evidence rather than general model knowledge.
Why this is expensive by hand
Version comparison by eye misses the changes that matter and flags the ones that don't. Contract and policy versions is the typical trigger — see what actually changed between two drafts before signing or approving. Done properly it is defensible; done at pace it becomes a judgement call nobody can retrace. And "properly" usually means 1–2 hours of manual work.
How this Skill produces it
Skillsize turns that work into a Skill: you supply the material, and what comes back is a list of meaningful differences with context, with substantive changes separated from noise. The criteria, ordering and review points that make the answer trustworthy are encoded in the Skill itself — which is the difference between a structured method and a prompt someone pastes in. Net effect: 1–2 hours down to ~5 minutes, no drift between runs, and every conclusion traceable back to the evidence behind it.
Who it's for
- Strategy and corporate development teams
- Consultants producing evidence-led recommendations
- Founders and executives testing new directions
- Anyone who has to cite what they claim
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
Document comparison exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
