Side by side
Claude
Workflow
Give it the source, audience and changes you want before asking for a rewrite.
Limitations
A well-written synthesis still needs claim-by-claim verification.
Trial task
Revise a long brief while preserving every qualification and named source.
Perplexity
Workflow
Open each supporting source and check that it establishes the attached claim.
Limitations
A citation can be real while failing to support the sentence beside it.
