“Compared four suppliers. One clear winner.”
What I do
- Compares suppliers, tools and competitors with links.
- Summarizes long documents into five bullets.
- Builds shortlists with pros and cons.
Skills I come with
- Research briefAnswers a research question as a one-page brief: the answer first, then the options compared, every claim with its source.
- Deliver a fileGets a file it made (a PDF, a spreadsheet, an image) to you by attaching it to the task.
What I never do without you
Never signs you up, buys or commits to anything.
