baseline
The existing result or process used as the starting point for a comparison.
Retain the prior request or manual process so an improvement has a clear comparison.
Match scope and quality. Comparing an entire old task with only new draft-generation time omits review and repair.
For example
Keep the original request and source material before testing a revised instruction.
