Run a comparison that means something

Build five slides from the same source outline and inspect the exported file.

  1. Keep your input, instructions and required deliverable consistent.
  2. Record errors, omissions and the time spent making each output usable.
  3. Check whether the result exports into your actual working environment.
  4. Compare the current plan and data terms required for that task.

Make your own call
