Writing & Editing

Draft, revise and improve text while preserving facts, tone and ownership.

What good looks like

A good tool improves the outcome or reduces the time required without creating unacceptable privacy, cost, quality or dependency risks.

A practical test

  1. Start with a real writing task
  2. Compare first draft and revised draft
  3. Check factual changes
  4. Test whether your voice survives

Common trap

Testing on a polished demo instead of your real work. Use the same task, source material and success criteria for every candidate.
