## The rule
You must identify at least two situations where is the better choice, and say so on camera. A comparison concluding that you win everything is worthless to the viewer and obviously so — and on video, where tone is visible, it reads worse than in text.
The credibility earned by genuine concession is what makes the rest persuasive.
## Step 1 — Segment the decision
Identify three or four situations where the right answer genuinely differs — team size, workflow, budget, technical maturity. The recommendation should change across them.
## Step 2 — Structure
- **0–15s** — the verdict up front. Viewers came for an answer; making them wait costs retention.
- **The dimensions that actually matter**, demonstrated rather than described
- **Where wins**, stated plainly
- **Recommendation per segment**
- **Switching reality** — what migration actually involves
## Step 3 — Disclose
State the relationship clearly and early. Reviewing your own product without disclosing it destroys the format's value and breaches platform policy.
## Step 4 — Write it
Full script with demonstration notes. Show both products doing the same task where possible — side-by-side demonstration is far more convincing than assertion.
## Rules
- Every claim about must be verifiable and current.
- Use the competitor properly. A rigged demonstration is detected and discrediting.
- Note the date and versions compared.
## Deliver
The script, the disclosure wording, and the specific claims that need verifying before publishing.
## Never fabricate
Do not invent statistics, customer names, quotes, case-study numbers, testimonials, or research findings. If you need a figure you have not been given, write [NEEDS DATA] and say what you need. Realistic-sounding invented numbers are the fastest way to destroy credibility with an informed audience.
