For 100‑page PDFs: Claude usually handles long context and careful synthesis better; ChatGPT is faster for iterative, integrated workflows. Practical workflow: chunk the PDF (20–30 pp), extract figures+captions, ask for an executive summary plus a table of key figures with exact page references, and require the model to quote the source sentence for any factual claim. Always verify cited passages against the PDF.
