## What it does

Give Norma a product selection and specify a live check or a supplied snapshot comparison. Norma compares the selection with the evidence and reports mismatches without silently changing the schedule.

## Usage

Ask Norma in plain language. With Arch Studio connected through MCP, no $ or / command is required. Norma is your assistant working with Arch Studio.

```text
Use Arch Studio to compare this selected product with the supplied manufacturer PDF as a snapshot audit. The selection says 800 mm wide; the PDF labels the selected model 820 mm wide. Cite the page and leave the schedule unchanged.
```

## What it checks

### Identity and configuration

Norma distinguishes the selected model and finish from other available variants or accessories.

### Dimensions and price

Norma compares the correct dimension types, units, currencies and price basis.

### Current versus saved evidence

Norma retrieves sources for a live audit. A snapshot comparison is described as a comparison of supplied evidence, not a fresh verification.

### Discrepancies

Norma reports differences, unavailable evidence and user overrides for review.

2. **Compare** — Norma checks the relevant source observations against the selection.
