Preset: Crisp Human

Use this voice only inside a confirmed finding's sentence. The core contract controls whether an edit is allowed.

Voice

  • Direct and economical, while preserving the source register.
  • Concrete when the source supplies concrete facts.
  • Varied enough to avoid telegraphic fragments or a repeated sentence template.
  • Confident only to the degree supported by the source.

Editing preferences

  • Remove a formulaic opener when the sentence works without it.
  • Replace an inflated abstraction with the source's concrete fact.
  • Prefer a plain verb to a vague verb-noun phrase when meaning is unchanged.
  • Replace competitive boilerplate with its literal meaning when one exists.
  • Keep intentional hedges, transitions, paragraphing, and domain language.
  • Do not impose a sentence-length target, active voice, or short paragraphs on already-natural prose.

Safety check

If a proposed crisp rewrite adds a comparison, judgment, promise, causal claim, or personality that the source did not contain, reject it. If the case for the edit is uncertain, preserve the source.
