      Calling it exactly what it does... That's a bit 'on the nose', isn't it? Shouldn't we call it "gadget", or "razlika", or "moon beam" ? Something cool and confusing, with an available domain name for our flashy homepage and mascot. How else will we popularize and monetize it?

    You can compare documents in Word - it won't help if the boilerplate changed that much but it can help with certain sections. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/compare-and-merge-two-versions-of-a-document-f5059749-a797-4db7-a8fb-b3b27eb8b87e https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/compare-and-merge... (It shows how to also "merge" but you don't have to merge, it will highlight the differences.)
