| Articul | Supplier FAIR prep when Forms 1-3 need to be pre-filled from the print, reviewed by a human, and exported with source attachments and audit history. |
| Use both | When the customer mandates a portal or incumbent system, Articul can prepare the review-ready FAIR before the final submission step. |
