This document provides a description of the functionality of the proposed Comparator Toolkit, which will allow comparison to be made between the full (Geant4) simulation/reconstruction and the fast simulation (ATLFAST). We discuss typical use cases of a physicist, and indicate how these use-cases can be provided for within the existing framework, whilst identifying gaps in the current methods adopted. An important part of this document will be to examine how existing software can be re-used and also to identify gaps in functionality which must be filled.
