## What does the versus outline include?

You enter two product names and the job. It returns a markdown outline: the job, three criteria slots, a because-and-skip section for each product, and a tie-breaker. You fill the facts. It does not invent them.

## How to use it

Name the job the way a chooser would: “help desk for a ten-person support team,” not “software.”

Replace the criterion prompts with decisions that actually separate these two.

Write a skip for each product. A versus without a skip is a push.

Copy the outline into your draft and delete any heading you cannot source.

### Will this write the comparison?

No. It writes the skeleton so the job, the criteria, and the skips are hard to forget. The sentences are yours.

### What if the products are in different categories?

Pick the job they share, or do not compare them. A versus across unrelated jobs is two reviews stapled together.

### Can I add a third product later?

Then it is a shortlist. Start from criteria that cover all three, instead of stretching a two-column outline.
