AI technical specification comparison
Compare stated requirements and supplier responses field by field. Preserve exceptions and unstated values instead of turning an incomplete response into a compliance claim.
Synthetic evaluation input
Requirement R1: deliver editable CSV register. Requirement R2: include document revision register. Supplier A: CSV register and revision register included. Supplier B: PDF register only; revision register included. Supplier C: CSV register included; no statement on revisions. Allowed statuses: met; not_met; not_stated.

Expected fields
| Field | Reference answer |
|---|---|
| A_R1 | "met" |
| A_R2 | "met" |
| B_R1 | "not_met" |
| B_R2 | "met" |
| C_R1 | "met" |
| C_R2 | "not_stated" |
Check a structured response
The comparison runs in your browser against this answer key. It checks exact fields and values, not the accuracy of an explanation or a model's general ability.
Recommended workflow
Build a requirement-to-evidence matrix with separate met, not-met and not-stated states. Do not infer compliance from marketing descriptions.
A specification comparison needs the requirement, the supplier's statement and the reason for the assigned status. A missing statement is not the same as a failed requirement, and neither should silently become a pass.
The synthetic example uses document-delivery requirements rather than equipment design limits. One supplier satisfies both, another explicitly offers a different format, and a third says nothing about the revision register. The expected result distinguishes each case.
A real purchasing decision may depend on commercial qualifications, standards, project-specific definitions and signed deviations. Those documents must be included in the review. A comparison assistant can organise evidence but cannot invent supplier commitments or issue final technical acceptance.
Failure checks
- Do not treat PDF-only delivery as editable CSV.
- Distinguish not_stated from not_met.
- Evaluate requirements separately for each supplier.
What this exercise does not prove
The exercise covers documentary comparison, not product qualification, procurement approval or standards compliance.
For an actual evaluation, keep a separate held-out set, record tool/model version and settings, and log raw outputs, corrections, elapsed time and actual charges. Do not compare tools tested on different inputs as though they ran the same benchmark.
