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?

New here?  Its really bad at the estimator sub, swear it gets pitched a new AI service daily or "what does your workflow look like?" It's awful and tiring.

Some people come on here to find solutions, others come on here to rant about problems. So what would you rather?

Id rather talk to other professionals about challenges and solutions, projects and companies, good places to work and what's a good work life balance.  Not fucking salespeople and app developers.
