# Editorial Review

Use when content needs an independent final or developmental editorial pass.

## Procedure
1. Confirm audience, publication goal, voice, and factual claims that carry meaningful risk.
2. Review structure before sentence-level polish: opening promise, progression, evidence, and conclusion.
3. Remove unsupported assertions, repetition, jargon, filler, and internal-context assumptions.
4. Check consistency of terminology, tone, capitalization, links, dates, names, and product claims.
5. Preserve the author's useful voice while correcting ambiguity and weak reasoning.
6. Separate blocking factual/structural issues from optional stylistic preferences.
7. Perform a final proof pass after substantive edits.

## Quality gate
The piece is ready when a target reader can understand and trust it without needing the editor to explain what the author meant.
