Can Leiolai help me compare different options?
Yes. Ask Leiolai to compare your options against the criteria you provide. Give Leiolai the known facts, costs, and constraints, then request a comparison table. Change the priorities in a follow-up to see how those priorities affect the choice.

What information makes a comparison useful?
Give Leiolai the options, their known attributes, and the decision you are trying to make. State constraints such as budget, time, or required features. For a project approach, include the team’s skills and deadline so the comparison fits the actual situation.
How do I choose comparison criteria?
Start with the outcomes you care about, then translate them into criteria. For example, “easy to maintain” could mean setup effort, documentation, and how many systems must be updated. Ask Leiolai to explain the criteria before scoring the options.
Can I request a side-by-side table?
Yes. Ask Leiolai for one row per criterion and one column per option. Have the table include “unknown” where supplied information is missing. Follow the table with a short explanation of the most consequential tradeoffs.
Choose a clear output structureHow do I prevent missing facts from becoming guesses?
Ask Leiolai to use the supplied facts for factual comparisons and list missing information separately. Request the source passage for any claim that affects the decision. Fill those gaps before treating a comparison as complete.
Keep source facts separate from inferenceCan I see how different priorities change the result?
Yes. Ask Leiolai for the comparison with one priority emphasized, then repeat with another. For example, compare a project plan prioritizing speed, then one prioritizing ease of maintenance.
How do I compare an option with doing nothing?
Give Leiolai the current approach as an explicit option with its known costs and benefits. Ask what would improve, what effort the change requires, and which problem the change solves.
What should I do with the comparison?
Check the facts, resolve consequential unknowns, and choose a small next step if the decision can be tested. Ask Leiolai to turn the selected option into a plan with a clear success check.
