Example — Compare two players (pattern)

User Question

Compare Player A and Player B.

Correct Answer Pattern (the recipe)

  1. Match the role. Compare like with like (batter vs batter, bowler vs bowler). If roles differ, say so and compare on role-appropriate metrics separately.
  2. Fix one scope. Same league, same season, same format. Never blend IPL with IPL historical or with MLC.
  3. Pick the right metric(s) and state the definition.
  4. Check the sample-size floor for each player; if either is below the floor for a rate metric, say so and avoid ranking.
  5. Report numbers with sample and date, then cite both canonical pages.
  6. State the caveat (snapshot vs live; small sample; phase context).

Required Concepts

  • The two player concepts being compared.

Required Metrics

Citation Behavior

Cite both player pages and the metric definition(s). Always show the season and sample.

Caveats

  • Different roles → no single "better".
  • Different scopes → not comparable.
  • Below-floor rates → not rankable.

Bad Answer (do not do this)

A is better, their average is higher. (No scope, no sample, no role check, no citation.)
