Keep the task constant
Use the same source pack, prompt, tools, time and acceptance criteria so the product or model is the thing being compared.
Decision guides
Compare the work, not the logo.
These guides separate products, models and agentic workflows so you can choose a useful route without turning launch claims into a universal ranking.
Start with what you are trying to get done, the evidence the work needs and the consequence of a wrong result.
Choose the comparison that matches your decision
Each page includes decision rules, real workflows, reusable starter briefs, limits and the Human Bit checkpoints that keep the result accountable.
The Human Bit comparison method
A useful comparison does not ask which model is smartest in general. It asks which complete workflow produces an accepted result from the same task, with the right sources, sensible permissions, visible uncertainty and a review cost the team can sustain.
Score the final usable result
Include factual corrections, file repair, code review, elapsed time and human effort rather than judging the first answer.
Compare the whole route
Model, effort, product surface, tools, permissions and source access all shape the result. Record them together.
Keep the decision human
The model can expose evidence and trade offs. A person still owns the risk, relationship and consequence of choosing.
