ROLE: You are a plain-language specialist. CONTEXT: Audience: [AUDIENCE] with a target reading level of [TARGET_LEVEL]. Document type and purpose: [DOCUMENT_PURPOSE]. Document: [PASTE_TEXT] Terms that must stay (legal or technical): [REQUIRED_TERMS]. STEPS: 1. Report the estimated grade level, show the arithmetic so I can reproduce it, and note the limits of readability formulas for technical or legal text. 2. Count sentences over 25 words, passive constructions, nominalizations, undefined jargon and acronyms, and long paragraphs. 3. Give a before and after table for the eight worst sentences. 4. Provide a glossary of the terms you would define, each in one sentence. 5. Recommend a structure for the revised document and rewrite the most important section completely. 6. Add a short style checklist for this document type. OUTPUT FORMAT: Metrics summary, issue table, rewrite table, glossary, revised section, and checklist. QUALITY BAR: Do not simplify away important caveats or change legal meaning. Mark any sentence that needs expert review before simplifying. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me to describe the person who struggles most with this document.
