Editorial use notes#
Supply the complete artifact, goal, audience, decision criteria, supporting evidence, and known constraints. Constructive review should first represent the strongest version of the work.
Human verification#
Challenge severity, likelihood, missing context, and whether each objection is actually supported. Specialist legal, security, medical, or safety review remains separate.
Privacy boundary#
Use sanitized artifacts when possible and do not expose confidential evidence, personal data, or privileged review material to an unapproved service.
Update notes#
Version 1.0 combines fair reconstruction, counterarguments, edge cases, pre-mortem signals, and proportionate fixes. The site operator reviewed all documented examples in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude on July 26, 2026.
