How to test both fairly

  1. Pick one real, bounded piece of work, not a demo question.
  2. Give both products the same documents and the same question.
  3. Agree beforehand what a good answer needs: the right authorities, pinpoint citations, the right format.
  4. Have a qualified lawyer check every answer against the source.
  5. Time the corrections, not just the first draft.
  6. Check permissions, data deletion, exports and audit logs as well as output quality.

Include an Indian research question that needs Supreme Court and High Court authority. Check that every citation opens the right paragraph of the right judgment, and ask each vendor where your data will be stored.
