Running it, start to finish

  1. Work out why the original is dense before rewriting.
  2. Have the meaning-change flags reviewed by whoever owns the content.
  3. Send the ambiguities back to the source rather than resolving them.

What you get back

The output this produces, every time.

  • Diagnoses why the text is dense, since necessary precision and institutional habit need different treatment.
  • Flags every place meaning could have shifted, side by side with the original.
  • Surfaces ambiguities rather than silently choosing one reading.

Getting better results

Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.

  • Never adopt without checking the flags. Section 4 is what makes a plain-language rewrite safe. Skipping it is how a clearer document becomes a wrong one.
  • Name the actor. Passive constructions hide who does what, which is frequently the single most important missing information.
  • Distinguish writing from policy. Clear writing about an unreasonable rule makes the problem visible. It does not make it a writing problem.
