PR Description:

Added a new script and made sub folder for the change table files to keep with proper folder structure.
So 4 changes total if you count moving the other two files.

Overview

This utility provides manual similarity scoring between ServiceNow change request records using text analysis, without requiring machine learning. It helps developers and admins find similar changes by comparing descriptions and calculating similarity scores programmatically.

How It Works

  1. Extracts keywords from change request descriptions
  2. Compares keyword overlap between change requests
  3. Calculates a similarity score (0-100%)
  4. Finds and ranks similar change requests based on score

Features

  • Compare change request descriptions using keyword matching
  • Calculate similarity scores between change requests
  • Find and rank similar changes programmatically
  • No ML or Predictive Intelligence required
