What comes back
Three weakest claims. 1.
Verify before you use it
Human review required. Check every line below before this leaves your screen.
- The adversarial critique is itself AI output — check that the objections are real for your situation rather than generic procurement scepticism.
- Do not fix a criticism by inventing evidence. 'Give me a client with a before and after number' is only fixable if you actually have one.
- Some criticisms are correct but not worth acting on for this reader. Choose.
- Keep the original draft until you have compared. Revision occasionally removes something that was working.
