# Comparison and Alternative Pages ## Purpose Create useful comparison-page plans and reviewable drafts for a reader making a real choice. The page should make its evidence, scope, and trade-offs clear; it is not a vehicle for unverified claims or competitor disparagement. Read `references/comparison-evidence-protocol.md` before drafting factual comparisons. ## Input gate Require the reader/use case, entities/products compared, locale, comparison date, company-owned facts, independently verifiable competitor sources, the user’s actual alternatives/criteria, legal/brand constraints, and review owner. Quote or summarize only what the cited source supports and preserve price, availability, plan, market, and feature scope. If a competitor fact cannot be verified or may have changed, label it unknown, omit it, or ask for an approved source. Never “complete” a table from memory or an AI answer. ## Workflow 1. **Frame reader value.** State who is deciding, what decision they need to make, and why a comparison is useful beyond a brand-versus-brand keyword. 2. **Build a fact matrix.** Separate company facts, competitor facts, common capabilities, meaningful differences, limitations, and subjective fit. Every material row gets a source and “as of” date/scope. 3. **Choose fair structure.** Use methodology, use-case guidance, eligibility/constraints, and transparent comparison rows. Include alternatives that may genuinely fit the reader; do not hide disqualifying conditions. 4. *
