No silent omissions
Missing comparison-group evidence prevents generation; missing group citations produce a visible warning.
Focused document comparison
Compare the terms. Inspect both sides.
Select two files or folders, ask a focused question, and receive a bounded comparison built from evidence retrieved independently from each selected group.
Best for questions such as “How do renewal terms and prices differ?”—not automatic legal redlining.
Focused comparison
How do notice periods and prices differ?
Acme requires 30 days' notice at CAD 120, while Contoso requires 60 days at CAD 150. S1 S2

Balanced evidence
A comparison needs evidence from every selected side.
FileNyani searches each comparison root independently, balances the bounded evidence pack, and warns when a selected group is missing evidence or citations.
Select rootsChoose two files, two folders, or a small explicit group.
Name the focusAsk about renewal, pricing, requirements, or another concrete dimension.
Retrieve per groupGive each root its own opportunity to supply evidence.

| Useful request | What FileNyani can establish | What it does not claim |
|---|---|---|
| Compare renewal terms in Acme and Contoso. | A bounded, cited synthesis of retrieved renewal evidence from both groups. | An exhaustive clause-by-clause legal diff. |
| What changed in these two folders? | Deterministic indexed-file inventory, then a request for a useful content focus. | Proof that matching filenames have equal contents. |
| Compare these two explicit files. | A visibly non-exhaustive leading-section overview when the request is generic. | Every textual or semantic change in the documents. |
Honest limits
AI interpretation is not a mechanical diff.
FileNyani does not calculate similarity percentages, infer exhaustive clause changes, classify legal risk, or prove absence. A precise question produces the most useful comparison.
No invented equality
Matching paths in two folders are inventory facts, not proof that file contents are identical.
No legal conclusion
Citations help you inspect the source. They do not turn local model output into legal advice.
Choose the sources. Ask one focused question.
Comparison remains part of the same FileNyani scope-and-Ask workflow—there is no separate comparison database or mode.
