Don't Do ThisDon't outsource the judgement, only the typing
"Which vendor should we choose?" hands a decision you are accountable for to a system with no stake in it and no knowledge of your politics, budget, or history.
Instead: Ask it to build the comparison — criteria, trade-offs, what would change your mind. You still make the call, but on a better-laid-out table.
