The quick read
- Once the facts are stable, improve structure and emphasis.
- First check names, dates, numbers and sources.
Establish the factual base
Supply information that must be preserved and identify claims requiring verification. Specify whether the assistant may add facts or only rewrite the material. Keep quotations exact and attributable rather than asking the model to improve their wording.
Edit for the reader
Once the facts are stable, improve structure and emphasis. Ask what the audience needs to understand first. Replace abstract language with useful examples and remove repetitions that do not add meaning. Preserve qualifications that affect the truth of a claim.
Review twice
First check names, dates, numbers and sources. Then read for flow, voice and unnecessary detail. For a founder profile, verify the career history separately from your interpretation of the company’s strategy. Do not allow an elegant sentence to conceal an unsupported assumption. A reliable writing workflow makes clear what is known, what is inferred and how those ideas should be communicated. AI can help with each stage, but the stages should remain visible.
