It would be nice to have scripts that could leverage the correspondence between analysis and appraisal data files to detect when changes have been made to any component of each line item, and output the differences.
E.g.
* [Name] A contribution was made
and
* [Name] A big contribution was made [23%]
... if they are in the same position in their respective files should be detected as a local modification of this kind (i.e. the verbiage of the contribution was modified here at the appraisal stage. But it could also be a change in the list of contributors). I think we should be able to do this since the corresponding files would have the same number of lines and the same contents (except with the addition of the allocation block in the appraisal file).
