What you’re working towards
A paragraph-by-paragraph purpose map, repetition and missing-link report, and a source-preserving proposed new order. This is an authored practice example; no consumer AI run has been recorded.

Make a start
One step at a time.
3 steps
Start with the synthetic worked example or other non-sensitive inputs. Run one prompt at a time in your chosen AI tool. Replace any bracketed placeholders with the requested material, check each reply, and supply the source or earlier outputs that step needs. Paste them again if the tool lacks that context.
Start with the synthetic example, then adapt each prompt to your task.
01
Try the complete example
Open a new chat in a text AI assistant you already have permission to use. Paste all of Input from this guide, then the prompt below, in one message. Do not paste Output: that is the illustrative answer for comparison. Expect a written result that will map each paragraph’s job before proposing a new order or deleting repetition. Different wording is fine; the source facts and rules must agree.
Your starting prompt
Make a reverse outline: list each paragraph ID, its purpose and proposed disposition. Identify duplicate functions, buried definitions and unsupported transitions. Propose a source-preserving reading order and author questions. Account for every paragraph; do not rewrite or manufacture missing evidence.
Use only the complete synthetic input pasted above. Return the finished written result. Keep missing facts unknown. Do not send, publish, order or change another service.
02
Trace the answer back to the source
Compare the answer with Input yourself. P1–P8 all have a disposition, including duplicate P4/P8 and held P6. The suggested reading order uses original paragraphs and moves P5 before the setup descriptions. Read P3 then P7 aloud: the display attribution is still missing. P7 does not prove the unsupported P6 comparison. If a check fails, paste: “This part is wrong: [quote it]. My source says: [quote the exact line]. Return the complete corrected result and explain the change.” Recheck before saving; if the source itself is incomplete, keep that part unresolved.
Your starting prompt
Audit the result against the source pasted in this chat. Check these specific points:
- P1–P8 all have a disposition, including duplicate P4/P8 and held P6.
- The suggested reading order uses original paragraphs and moves P5 before the setup descriptions.
- Read P3 then P7 aloud: the display attribution is still missing. P7 does not prove the unsupported P6 comparison.
Show each mismatch and return a complete corrected replacement. Distinguish your text audit from checks that only a person or the actual application can perform.
03
Use your own input
For your own version, open a new chat. Paste the prompt below after replacing every bracketed field. Replace related IDs, quantities, dates, rules and limits together; none of the practice facts carries over. Expect the same named deliverable using your source. Review it yourself: account for every source paragraph and read the proposed order using the original text; identify the first unsupported transition rather than assuming a new order solves it. If a check fails, paste: “This part is wrong: [quote it]. My source says: [quote the exact line]. Return the complete corrected result and explain the change.” Recheck before saving; if the source itself is incomplete, keep that part unresolved.
Your starting prompt
Reverse-outline my complete nonfiction draft using its paragraph IDs. Identify each paragraph’s job, repetition, buried definitions and missing logical links. Give every paragraph a keep, move, merge, proposed-delete or hold disposition and a source-preserving proposed order. Protect my specified claims and quotations; ask the author about missing evidence instead of writing it into existence.
MY INPUT
Complete owned nonfiction draft with paragraph IDs: [replace with your own complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Intended reader and purpose: [replace with your own complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Protected claims/quotes: [replace with your own complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Allowed structural changes: [replace with your own complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Missing-evidence boundary: [replace with your own complete non-sensitive details, or state unknown]
Use only MY INPUT for facts and constraints. Ask for an essential missing fact or conflicting rule before deciding; do not import practice-example names or numbers. Return the complete result plus unresolved questions and a source-based check list. Do not send, publish, buy, schedule or change another service.
Optional: improve the result
Separate deletion from qualification
Offer distinct editorial choices without deciding an unsupported claim for the author. This optional extension uses only the synthetic example. Return to the sample chat, or paste its full Input into a new chat first. Do not transfer the changed sample values to your own input.
Advanced prompt
For synthetic P6, give two clearly labeled structural options: omit the claim, or retain a placeholder for an author-supported comparison. Show the affected sequence and what evidence the second option would require. Do not invent a revised factual claim or an answer about which display performed better.

01 / The starting point
Synthetic input
Synthetic practice input. All names, products, records and policies below are invented.
Complete eight-paragraph miniature nonfiction draft; all trial details are fictional. Intended reader: adult club volunteers. Purpose: explain the two display arrangements tried and what still needs evaluating. Allowed changes: propose relocations, merges, deletions and questions, but do not silently rewrite the draft. Protect exact observation wording and the distinction between evidence and claims.
P1: “We tried two paper-display shapes to make labels easier to read.”
P2: “We taped six prints to a board, using two paper tabs per print.”
P3: “We also stood six folded print cards on a table.”
P4: “Each print on the board was held by two paper tabs.”
P5: “Here wall display means a board of fixed prints; freestanding display means separate folded cards.”
P6: “The freestanding display worked better.”
P7: “One fictional trial visitor leaned forward and asked for a larger label.”
P8: “Our goal was to make labels easier to read.”
No measurement, display attribution for P7, or evidence supporting P6 is supplied.
Copies text only. For image or file tasks, use the source files named in the steps too.
Illustrative answer authored for this guide; not a recorded AI response.
Paragraph-purpose map
P1: states the trial and purpose. Keep as opening.
P2: describes board setup. Keep as method detail.
P3: describes table setup. Keep beside P2 for comparison.
P4: repeats the two-tabs detail already in P2. Propose merging its identity into P2, with no new text needed.
P5: defines the two display terms. Move before the setup descriptions so readers learn the terms earlier.
P6: asserts comparative success without a criterion or supporting measurement. Hold out of the proposed reading sequence pending author evidence or an explicit revision decision.
P7: records one visitor observation, without naming which display it concerns. Keep the exact wording and ask for context.
P8: repeats P1’s goal. Propose merging its purpose into P1, with no new text needed.
Proposed retained-paragraph sequence
P1 → P5 → P2 → P3 → P7
This is a reading sequence using the original paragraphs, not a complete publishable rewrite.
Disposition accounting
Kept or relocated: P1, P2, P3, P5, P7.
Proposed duplicate merges: P4 into P2; P8 into P1.
Held pending evidence or author decision: P6.
All eight source paragraphs have a disposition. No deletion has been applied.
Missing links and author questions
The first substantive transition still needing clarification is P3 → P7: which display did the visitor respond to, and what can that single observation establish?
What criterion and evidence, if any, support “worked better” in P6? If none exists, should the author remove or qualify that claim?
What remains to be evaluated next? The purpose calls for this, but the draft supplies no plan.
Do not invent answers or a smooth evidence-free concluding paragraph.
These checks use the worked example and its particular facts. With your own material, check your actual names, numbers, sources and rules; do not reuse the sample’s values as the answer.
Unsaved checks stay in this tab and reset when you reload. If you choose Save guide, its current example checkmarks are kept in this browser when storage is available.

A few things to watch for.
A smoother paragraph order does not supply a missing argument. Mark the bridge the author must write or substantiate.
Keep an ID ledger when merging paragraphs so a factual detail is not accidentally discarded with repeated wording.
