The sentence that opens with "In today's fast-paced world." The "it's important to note that," the "furthermore," the "moreover." The part where you "delve into" something or "leverage" it to "foster" a "robust," "seamless," "holistic" outcome. "A myriad of" this. "A plethora of" that. The closer that begins "In conclusion" and the one before it that promises to "pave the way." Three identical paragraphs that each say nothing. The bulleted list where every item is the same length and starts with a bold word and a colon. It reads like it was written to fill a word count, because it was. Read your own output before you send it. That is the whole ask. > > The rules below are what "read it first" looks like written down. Steal them.
