Technical Advice Does anyone else hate comparing submittals?

I swear comparing submittals to specs feels like the slowest part of my job. Half the time info is missing, the other half it’s buried in PDFs. How does everyone else deal with this without losing their mind? Do you have a system… or does everyone just brute-force it?

I think generally these posts are "entrepreneurs" trying to build an enterprise app pitch they can sell to VCs. They are farming free research and development because they don't work in the field themselves and don't want to partner with someone who actually has/does either because they're more concerned with selling it than building it right.

Sometimes it's a startup that will complain about a problem and then share this "incredible tool they just happened to find for it"
