|---|---|---|---|
| Client context | Re-enter manually | Limited or disconnected | Connected to the client record |

| Work-ready outputs | A raw answer | Excerpts and links | Memos, explanations, plans, and drafts |
| Workflow handoff | Copy and rebuild | Export and rebuild | Moves into the firm workflow |
| Professional approval | You add the structure | You build the package | Built into the path to delivery |
