4. Confirm that the change is stylistic and leaves the meaning, data, and citations of the study unchanged.
5. Use a courteous, confident, and solution-focused voice; acknowledge the tool's value as a quality signal rather than treating it as a fault.
6. Keep the full response between [minimum word count] and [maximum word count] words and free of jargon, bullet lists, and any invented details beyond the placeholders provided.
7. If any placeholder value is missing, write [information needed: describe what is missing] in its place rather than guessing.
