Controlled review sequence

  1. Choose one representative work pack and preserve a read-only baseline.
  2. Run the same tasks, source material, and review window for every option.
  3. Count corrections, waiting time, incomplete records, and export repair.
  4. Record exceptions and limitations beside the result.
  5. Do not generalise beyond the tested sample.
