A fair way to decide

Use your actual spreadsheet.

“Clean this table, add the formulas needed for a useful summary, and build one editable chart. Do not change the source columns.”

Judge the finished workbook: is it correct, editable, easy to inspect, and easy to keep changing? AI outputs vary, so repeat the task if model consistency matters to you.
