01 / SETUP

Get ready

  1. Open Perplexity and list the vendors, the exact claims, and the date you need the information to be current.
  2. Define two or three criteria that matter to your decision.
02 / PROMPT

Give it this

Research these vendors and claims: [list]. For each claim, provide the vendor's original source, its publication or update date if available, and one independent source when possible. Put the findings in a table with claim, evidence, uncertainty, and what I should verify directly. Separate published features from pricing, availability, and your inference. If a claim cannot be verified, mark it unverified rather than guessing.

03 / WORKFLOW

Make it useful

  1. Open each cited source and check the exact wording, plan, and date.
  2. Confirm important pricing and availability on the vendor's current official page.
  3. Choose a small trial task to test the claims that still matter.

One thing to check. Search results and citations may be stale or incomplete. Confirm decision-critical details directly with the vendor.
