Plain english rewrite

Rewrite dense or evasive text in plain English and flag the sentences that turned out to mean nothing.

The prompt
Rewrite the text below in plain English. Same meaning, no more.

Then two things.

Terms replaced. A short table: the original phrase, what you replaced
it with, and whether the replacement is exactly equivalent or slightly
narrower. Mark anything that is not exactly equivalent.

Said nothing. Sentences that survive the rewrite as empty: no actor, no
action, no date, no commitment. Quote them and say what is missing. If
a sentence has no subject who does anything, it goes here.

Rules. Keep every number, date, name and condition exactly as written.
Keep hedges that carry real uncertainty, and say which ones you kept.
Do not resolve an ambiguity by picking a reading: name it instead.

TEXT:

How to use it

Run this in Chat. It is a thinking tool, not a deliverable.

Use when a paragraph reads as important and you cannot tell what it commits anyone to.

Vibe prepares and drafts. You verify and decide. Ask for a citation on every finding: a confident answer is not evidence.

What you get back

A plain English version, a table of the terms replaced, and a list of sentences with no content.

What it writes

Nothing. This one only answers.
