Editing Research/Fiction Writing/AI Prose Strengthen (section)

== Practical revision workflow ==

# '''Provenance pass:''' save outline, notes, sources, prompts, and draft diffs.
# '''Voice pass:''' define intended voice, register, audience, POV, and constraints.
# '''Draft pass:''' produce complete scene/chapter/essay without stopping to polish every sentence.
# '''Mechanical pass:''' scan for filler phrases, slop words, AI-fiction clichés, repeated formulas, transition abuse, sentence uniformity, and abstract noun density.
# '''Specificity pass:''' replace generic claims/images with observed facts, concrete nouns, precise verbs, and source-backed claims.
# '''Structure pass:''' break template paragraphs, reduce symmetrical lists, vary paragraph size, and ensure sections are naturally lumpy.
# '''Subtext pass:''' delete explanations after emotional beats.
# '''Dialogue/interiority pass:''' make speech imperfect and character-specific; replace “thought about” lists with embodied cognition.
# '''Adversarial edit:''' request exact cuts classified by FAT / REDUNDANT / OVER-EXPLAIN / GENERIC / TELL / STRUCTURAL.
# '''Human accountability pass:''' verify facts, citations, tone, venue disclosure requirements, and authorial intent.
