Human Editing After AI Template 1
Pass 1 — truth: verify facts, numbers, dates, quotes, names, and source support.
Start with structure, then replace every placeholder with information that is true, relevant, and natural for your context. These templates are intentionally skeletal so your final writing does not sound mass-produced.
The strongest human edit goes beyond proofreading: it restores accountable judgment, removes synthetic filler, verifies consequential claims, and rewrites sentences that are technically fluent but do not sound like the writer or fit the situation.
Pass 1 — truth: verify facts, numbers, dates, quotes, names, and source support.
Pass 2 — meaning: compare claims with original notes and check logic, caveats, and scope.
Pass 3 — voice: remove generic transitions, inflated certainty, repeated cadence, and phrases you would not normally use.
Pass 4 — reader: check relevance, tone, privacy, calls to action, accessibility, and any required disclosure.
