What Matters Most
Verify unstable facts against current primary sources where possible. A fluent rewrite can make an incorrect statement sound more convincing, so confidence of tone is not evidence.
How To Apply It
Keep source context. A true sentence can become misleading when a qualifier or timeframe disappears.
Create A Claims Inventory
Highlight every statement that could be checked externally. Separate stable definitions from unstable details such as prices, current features, leadership, dates and statistics. The unstable group deserves fresh verification.
Prefer Primary Sources For Product Facts
For software, use current documentation, pricing pages, release notes and official help material when available. Secondary reviews can add context, but they may lag behind product changes.
Check Context, Not Only Numbers
A statistic can be copied correctly and still become misleading if the population, date or qualifier disappears. Verify what the number measured, when it was measured and whether the rewritten sentence preserves those limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Rewritten Content Still Need Human Review?
Yes. Review facts, meaning, attribution, terminology and readability before publishing.
How Much Should A Rewrite Change?
Only as much as the new purpose requires. Do not change precise language merely to maximize textual difference.
What Is The Most Important Quality Check?
Confirm that the rewrite preserves factual and semantic meaning before polishing style.
