Credited on a few full editorial rewrites: a research hook, bug-native scenarios in place of a grid, and a closer that states the limit of the claim.

“The rewrite earns its place when the claim gets more specific.”

Credited on new drafts that start from a brief, keep the bug distinct from the nearby idea, and match the claim to the sources.
