Comparative reports

Comparative analysis places 5 items (companies or lists) in columns so you can analyse the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Since lists can be included in the comparison, you can, for example, create a list of the competitors of the compared companies to have the average data.

Once you have added two items to a comparison, you are ready to analyse them.

This article explains how to:

• Start comparison 
• Comparison header and task bar 
• Summary of the comparison
• Financial analysis of the comparison

_______

We have already explained how to add items to a comparison and how they are added to the set-up widget, where as well as being able to add/remove items, you have a button to access the comparison.

1. If it is not already open, open the comparison set-up widget 
2. Click Start comparison

⚠️You can add non-contracted companies to the comparison, but when you start comparing you must have contracted all the companies. 

If one or more companies are not contracted, when you start the comparison you will be taken to the contracting menu.
