 Keep in mind to otherwise pass the same set of arguments for both commands (`evalSystems`, `quickTest`, `chunkSize`).
+Running this command will evaluate the difference between the baseline statistics and the ones at the time of running the command.
+From that difference, it will produce a human-readable report in `$out/step-summary.md`.
+If no packages were added or removed, then performance statistics will also be generated as part of this report.
