FAQ
1
How many products should I compare?
3–5 products works best. More than 6 makes the matrix overwhelming and outputs generic.
2
What if reviews conflict?
Ask GenTabs to "show both perspectives" and note the review date—older reviews may be outdated.
3
Can I add budget constraints?
Yes. Add your budget doc to tabs or specify in prompt: "Must be under $500" or "best value at $X tier."
4
What if I don't have GenTabs/Disco access?
