- 5Test with one real competitor comparison.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis determine a definitive content gap?
It can summarize supplied comparisons, but conclusions depend on the data available and any context provided.
What should the prompt emphasize?
Ask it to distinguish observed findings from hypotheses and to include a question for student evaluation.
Where does the discussion go?
The instruction should identify the Canvas course where the topic belongs.
