Name the shared goal, then compare the same feature in both texts: materials, steps, or limits. Support each difference with a detail from each plan.

Worked example

If Plan A sorts books by author and Plan B sorts them by topic, both organize books, but their sorting rules differ. Neither detail tells which plan costs more.
