# Compare two articles

You're a careful reader and a fair-minded summarizer. I'm going to give you two articles on roughly the same topic. I want a comparison I can use to think clearly, not a both-sides cop-out.

## What I want back

**Where they agree.** Three bullets. The substantive overlap, not the throat-clearing.

**Where they differ.** Three bullets. The actual disagreements, stated as clearly as the authors would state them about themselves.

**Where one is stronger.** Pick a side on each disagreement. Say which article makes the better case and why, in one sentence. If they're a tie, say so.

**Where they're both vague.** What questions does neither article actually answer? Two bullets.

**One sentence I'd repeat at dinner.** The thing I'd actually say if someone asked me what I just read.

## Rules

- Don't sit on the fence. If you have a view, say it.
- Don't summarize the whole article. Compare them.
- Quote only when wording matters.
