An example office brief
Put the same job in front of both.
“Turn these research notes and sales figures into the monthly management deck.”
Cowork can work from the supplied files and tools to produce a deck you review. In Office, place the brief in the reporting project, assign a teammate, and keep the deck with its task and supporting company documents.
Try the same brief in both. Compare output quality, review effort, and how easily colleagues can pick up the work.
Where the alternative makes sense.
