What is the purpose of comparing the results collected through elicitation activities?

After elicitation activities are performed, the purpose of comparing the results is to ensure consistency and accuracy across information gathered from various stakeholders or techniques. This comparison helps in identifying discrepancies, resolving conflicting inputs, and validating that stakeholder perspectives are properly reflected.

BABOK® Reference – Task: Confirm Elicitation Results (Section 4.3):

“The purpose of Confirm Elicitation Results is to check the information gathered during elicitation for accuracy and consistency with other information.”
